Celebrating Day of The African Child

Today, we join the rest of Africa in commemorating the Day of the African Child under the theme, “Ensuring Access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Every Child in Africa.”

Every child has the right to safe water, dignified sanitation, and healthy hygiene practices. Yet, for many children across the continent, these basic necessities remain out of reach.

As we mark this day, we recognize and celebrate the invaluable contribution of NGOs whose work continues to expand access to clean water, improve sanitation facilities, promote hygiene practices, and safeguard the health and dignity of children and their communities.

Let us renew our collective commitment to protecting children’s rights and investing in a future where every child can grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and healthy environment.

Together, we can ensure that no child is left behind.
