It is not just a day of celebration, but a catalyst for change. The Children’s Hour campaign aims to bring us all together to first of all remind us of the importance of our children, and secondly, to challenge the world’s biggest problems that keep children from being able to reach their full potential — poverty, conflict, food insecurity, the equality of young girls and women, the protection of Indigenous communities, and the global mental health crisis.
By inspiring next-generation leaders, business leaders and corporations, countries and governments, and the general public, we can all work together to ensure World Children’s Day is not just a date on the calendar, but the greatest world-changing global movement acknowledging, celebrating and investing in all of children all year long.
WORLD CHILDREN’S DAY - A reminder
THAT CHILDREN ARE not only OUR FUTURE BUT ALSO OUR PRESENT.
