CITIES FOR CHILDREN
We aim to protect the "right to a childhood" through three strands of work:The right to read - by supporting literacy and life skills relevant to a child's reality. The right to play - by creating child-friendly spaces with structured recreation programmes involving volunteer networks. The right to feel safe - by building staff/teacher capacity to offer protection and psychosocial support.
