Child Protection is everyone’s responsibility.
That was the theme of our communications and activities during National Child Protection Week, which took place from 29 May to 5 June 2025. Thank you to all those generous donors and supporters who put their hands up and made contributions to help keep children safe – not only during this commemorative week but every day of the year.
Child abuse and neglect is a huge problem in our country, driven by poverty and lack of resources. Children are easy targets because they don’t understand that they have rights, and are often too afraid to ‘tell’ on abusers. During National Child Protection Week, we held special awareness programmes at our Home to help children learn about their rights, know when their rights are being violated and speak out when they feel uncomfortable or unsafe. All children deserve the right to feel safe, learn, grow, and enjoy their childhood.
It’s in our hands to stop the cycle of abuse, neglect, violence, and exploitation of children.
