International Day of the African Child April 12, has been celebrated every year since 1991, when it was first initiated by the Organisation of African Unity. This day raises awareness of the continuing need for improvement of the education provided to African children.
To commemorate this day, #MDF in partnership with #PickAfrica #CRSPHCDA took to the streets and the most popular open field for street children in Calabar talking to people about the dangers of violence against women and children, child abuse and the need to protect the rights of children. Below are Moments from the International Day for Street Children celebrations.
