Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede celebrates the international day for the African child by visiting less privileged kids to have a nice time and distribute food items to them on the 16thof June 2020.
The International Day for the African Child celebration was hosted by Culturati whose team alongside Yvonne Jegede stormed less privileged kids home to feed and distribute relieve items to them.
The day of African Child was initiated by the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) on the 16thof June 1991 and the event honours the memories of the students who were massacred in Soweto, South Africa in 1976 for protesting against education, injustice and inequality in the apartheid regimes rights.
The theme of this year’s celebration is to give access to a child-friendly justice system in Africa
Yvonne Jegede had this to say regarding the celebration “Love is a sentiment all humans share. Love is its own reward when shared. Define yourself—not by how much you are loved, but by how much you love others.
I partnered with Culturati Movement in 2020 edition of Day of the African Child, with the theme; "Access to a Child-Friendly Justice System in Africa", sharing love with children on the streets.
The day brings together stakeholders whose main agenda is to improve the lives of African children through the promotion and protection of their rights.”
