Child Helpline International: Giving a voice to children and young people worldwide.
Child Helpline International (CHI ) is the global network of child helplines in 133 countries (as of December 2011), which together receive over 14 million contacts a year from children and young people in need of care and protection. CHI supports the creation and strengthening of national toll-free child helplines worldwide, and uses child helpline data and knowledge to highlight gaps in child protection systems and advocate for the rights of children.
