Child Helpline International (CHI) is a global network of telephone helplines and outreach services for children and young people. Working in over 150 countries, CHI was founded on the belief that children and young people have rights, and that they alone are the best individuals to identify their problems. As an organisation devoted to securing children's rights, CHI is committed to maintaining the spirit of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
Launch
To strengthen and develop helplines for children and young people, Child Helpline International (CHI) was launched in October 2003 in Amsterdam. It was inaugurated by the Chair of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.
Mission
