Maya

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.
