Child labour is a daily reality for 41 million children acrpss Eastern and Southern Africa.
Hazardous work severely reduces school attendance for both boys and girls.
But we can break this cycle - by protecting children, strengthening families & keeping every child in school.
🎉Cheers to a new year of possibilities.

💙Here is to a future full of possibilities.
