WALVIS BAY, NAMIBIA: Presidents of Botswana and Namibia, the Vice-President of Zimbabwe, and the Minister Community Development and Social Services of Zambia have joined more than 100 children to mark this year’s World Children’s Day at a summit in Walvis Bay, Namibia.

The summit is a moment for children and their countries’ leaders to discuss solutions to accelerate action to protect and fulfil the rights of every child.

The summit takes place a year after the presidents of the four countries met with children in Lusaka, Zambia, to commemorate the 2022 World Children’s Day. At this event, the four leaders committed to improving the quality of education for all children and ensuring that all schools are safe-to-learn settings and are connected to the Internet.
