Join us making the world safe for children.
Children First Initiative is a grassroots organization for and by children. It is our intention to change the world with a very simple idea put into action. That is to make the wellbeing of children first priority of governments and influential organizations. We believe that long standing problems can be solved by making children first priority, not just in words but in practice. Imagine how the world would be changed if powerful people made decisions based mostly upon the best interests of children. Denying climate change, waging war, allowing poverty and disease to continue when they could be mitigated if not eradicated, exploiting children with social media are all the opposite of putting children's interests first. Our goal is to enlist everyone we can, of all ages, in making children first priority -- by writing letters to those in power, spreading the idea and showing it to be practical. Like a seed, once planted, we believe the idea will grow.
Children First Initiative is a non-profit NGO and the idea of Kai W, 12 years old, entering 7th grade on September 1 2025. He believes children should be consulted and taken into consideration far more than they are, having wisdom far greater than they are given credit for. Pictures of Kai: www.flickr.com/people/savowise
Here's how it works: copy and paste the following letter into an email or print it out and mail it to whoever you think can make a difference: the President and Vice President, congresspeople, CEO's of corporations, leaders of other countries. Eventually we will make a list but to get started do some research and use your best judgement. Let us know how it goes.
Let's get started:

Dear [President/insert your own addressee],
I am writing on behalf of Children First Initiative (founded and run by children) to request that you consider making the best interests of children First Priority. Next time you make an important decision ask yourself if your choices are best helping children who represent our future and are truly the best of us? Please let this idea influence you in all future decisions. Too often children are spoken well of but are not actually given priority consideration because they have no actual power. Too often it is only the children of the privileged that are given recognition. We would like to change that! Children First Initiative believes that by making the best interests of all children first priority endemic problems like warfare, pollution, poverty and illness could be mitigated. Please give the potentially transformative power of making children first priority very serious consideration and visit the Children First Initiative website to learn more. And please reply with thoughts and suggestions.
Warm Regards,
[Your Name]

While anyone can send our letter and promote our cause, this organization is intended to be a forum by children for children where all experience, beliefs and points of view are welcome even if there is disagreement. The one belief we hope we all share is that when the world is a better place for children it benefits all humanity. So let's give ourselves as children a greater say in our world.
