Child-Help emerged from the solidarity between people who were confronted with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus in Belgium and their counterparts in the Global South. They feel connected to them because they understand how complex it is to care for a child with a congenital disability and guide them towards a full and independent life.

Child-Help works closely with IF, the international federation for spina bifida and hydrocephalus (www.ifglobal.org).

IF has consultative status with the United Nations and collaborates with the WHO, UNICEF, FFI (Flour Fortification Initiative), and other organizations.
