Nobel Prize Winners
The econometrician Professor Jan Tinbergen, a Nobel laureate himself, has seen during his travels how children suffer. Because they have to work very hard under extremely poor conditions without receiving any money for their labour. But because of this childlabour, they can't attend school and have no prospect of better future.
Professor Jan Tinbergen was so taken by this image that the idea was formed to actually do something about it. In 1994 he founded ChildRight. "For it is a scandal that the world allows so many of his children to live under such miserable conditions", he said. The lack of a fair distribution of economic factors (poverty - wealth) he found unacceptable.
Since 1994, over one hundred Nobel Prize winners expressed their support for ChildRight.
