As we celebrate Democracy Day in Nigeria, to commemorate the restoration of democracy in 1999, today highlights the enduring strength and resilience of Nigerians in our collective pursuit of freedom, equality, and justice, to ensure that every citizen, regardless of age, has the opportunity to live a life of dignity and fulfilment.
Simultaneously globally, we observe the
@UN World Day Against Child Labour, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, which the
@WellbeingAfrica Foundation advocates for, reminding all stakeholders to improve their implementation, through our dedication to safeguarding the education, healthcare, freedom and welfare of every child.
A thriving democracy is one that protects its most vulnerable citizens, and by addressing child labour through comprehensive frontline programming which empowers intergenerations, including the Adolescent Skills and Drills Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education, and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
#PSHE #WASH programme,
#WBFA not only upholds the rights of children but also invests in the future of our nation, working towards a Nigeria where every child can grow up in a safe and nurturing environment.
By supporting the development of a democratic society which prioritises the wellbeing of its youngest members, we can create a nation where every child is free to dream, learn, and thrive.
