Interpedia is an expert non-governmental organisation working for child rights and protection in an international setting. Interpedia is a politically and religiously independent Finnish non-profit organization, founded in May 1974 by adoptive parents. Interpedia is a recognized NGO working on intercountry adoptions and development cooperation. Interpedia's work is based on the UN Declaration and Convention on Children's Rights and the Hague Convention on protection of children. Interpedia is the largest intercountry adoption service provider in Finland and helps to find new families in Finland for children who cannot be placed in adoption in their native country. Interpedia’s development cooperation consists of projects funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland and sponsorship programmes. Interpedia’s sponsorship programmes support children’s education in developing countries. Finnish persons or groups regularly send money through Interpedia to our cooperation partners who run projects caring for children’s education and health care and for maintenance of schools and day care centres. Finnish sponsors support Interpedia’s sponsorship programmes in Bangladesh, Colombia, Ethiopia, India, Nepal, Thailand and South Africa. As a part of our development work, we offer sponsors and other individuals possibility to volunteer with us, participate in development networks and promote global education.
