The Romeo Dallaire Institute

Founded by retired lieutenant-general and celebrated humanitarian Roméo Dallaire, the Dallaire Institute is a global partnership committed to ending the use and recruitment of child soldiers. There are more than 250,000 child soldiers forced into armed conflicts around the world. We believe the solution to this complex issue is prevention. 

Your gift to the Child Soldiers Initiative will support: 

  • Ground-breaking research: world-class interdisciplinary research that will build and share knowledge to uncover new solutions. 

  • Advocacy: development of partnerships to help change policies and build the political will to end the use and recruitment of child soldiers. 

  • Security-sector training: comprehensive training for military, police, peacekeeping and other security forces — often the first point of contact for child soldiers — to help prevent the recruitment of children by armed groups.
