Ajmera and Greg Fields provide the architecture of a new perspective on the
global agenda for children, based on a new global web of relationships stemming
from the community level. Arguing that
the existing global agenda for children has failed, this book reimagines how
society can support the world's most vulnerable children. In doing so, Invisible Children identifies and gives voice to the millions of
children globally living on society's margins, while showing a way forward as
to how we can best invest in children.
