HISTORY OF THE DAY OF THE AFRICAN CHILD: Every year, June 16 have been observed as the International Day of the African Child. It is recognized as a working holiday throughout Africa. This day was designated in 1991 by the African Union and annually, events are organized to promote children's rights and wellbeing all over Africa. The date honors memories of students who were massacred in Soweto, South Africa, in 1976 for protesting against education injustice and inequality during the apartheid regime. On that fateful day of 1976, hundreds of young students were shot and the most famous to remember was little Hector Pieterson. Thousands of young students like you and me laid down their lives for the cause of freedom in South Africa. Because the rights of children have not been promoted in many African countries like Liberia, hundreds of children still die from starvation, diseases, war, traumatization, ignorance, etc. By adopting this day as International Day of the African Child, the African Union has drawn attention to the plight, not only of children in South Africa, but also to the plight of children in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, This Charter, which came into force in November 1999 is the first regional treaty on the rights of the child and complements the African Charter on Human and People's rights as well as the United Nations convention on The Rights of the Child. On the 16th of June every year, governments, NGOs, international organizations and other stakeholders gather to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the full realization of the rights of children. They also host events to create awareness of children's rights. The focus for this year's celebration is 'EDUCATION FOR ALL CHILDREN IN AFRICA: THE TIME IS NOW." As a youth organization, Leading Youths to Foster Transformation in Africa (LYFT-Africa) will gather approximately 100 kids from the Kindergarten and Elementary level in commemoration of the International Day Of The African Child (IDAC). As we are gathering today to participate in this year's event, we are appealing to all youths to safety their emotional intelligence to take this year's theme serious and ensure the education of all children, including the ones in your communities who do not got to school and watch you take your children to school.

Commemorating African Children's Day! Today, we honor African Children's Day, a momentous occasion dedicated to celebrating and advocating for the rights and welfare of children across the African continent. Established in 1991 by the Organization of African Unity (now the African Union), this day marks the Soweto Uprising of 1976, where thousands of South African children marched to demand better education and equal rights. The theme for this year, "Investing in Our Future Means Investing in Our Children," highlights the crucial need for sustained efforts in improving the quality of education, healthcare, and protection for every child. As we reflect on the progress made, we must also recognize the ongoing challenges many children face, from poverty and conflict to lack of access to basic necessities. Let's use this day to reaffirm our commitment to creating a brighter future for the next generation. By investing in children’s education, health, and overall well-being, we are paving the way for a more prosperous and equitable Africa.

📚 Today is #InternationalDayofEducation and we want to lend our support to the UN's aim of emphasising the role of #education in promoting peace, development, and equity. A recent CES #research report explored ‘The Power of Community Education: Supporting lone parents to fulfil their potential in education, employment, and society’. Lone parents with low levels of education face disproportionate risks of #poverty and social exclusion. The research, funded by the Beachaire Fund and Community Foundation Ireland, and conducted between June 2022 and July 2023, found that lone parents engaging in community education programmes experienced a transformative impact on their lives. By removing barriers to their educational success and personal growth, community education empowers lone parents to create a better future for themselves and their families.  You can hear directly from some of the parents who have benefitted here: https://lnkd.in/eQf3bVha https://lnkd.in/eEKG_MWA https://lnkd.in/ehpdKq_k
