Erikshjälpen is a Swedish child rights organisation which, based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, works to ensure that children living in poverty and vulnerable situations can enjoy a better life, both today and in the future. The organisation operates in 18 countries, with a focus on children’s right to education, health, safety and protection.

About Erikshjälpen

Erikshjälpen was founded by a child, and children and their families are actively involved and take part in changing their everyday lives, now and going forward. Erikshjälpen is also a second-hand movement with around 60 shops across Sweden, generating income for its programmes. The shops also offer opportunities for people who are outside the regular labour market to work. More than 2,000 volunteers are involved in the organisation, which also contributes to a better environment.

Kavli Trust supports Erikshjälpen with funding for a project aimed at preventing social exclusion in Helsingborg during 2019–2021.
