Celebrating success in Africa
Celebrating success on day of the African Child
On 16th June, Day of the African Child, we’re focusing on the young stars of the continent and the work we do with them.
Our work improves education, campaigns against female genital mutilation (FGM) and early and forced marriage in numerous communities.
Also, thanks to our partnership with Credit Suisse, we are working to increase the financial capability of young children, and especially girls, who usually carry the burden of domestic work and therefore can’t go to school.
Read more about our Financial Education for Girls programme and the Boys4Change clubs in Rwanda on the Huffington Post Blog.
For all the challenges Africa still faces, it is a vibrant and promising continent full of incredible young people. The future is bright for African children, let’s help them realise it.
