The theme for the 2014 is “Child friendly, quality, free & compulsory Education for all children in Africa.” 

As we commemorate the day of the African Child, let us remember that all learners have strengths and challenges. Prof. Wangari Maathai remembered the clear stream that she and her mother used to fetch water from as a child and the vibrant trees and wildlife that surrounded her home. "Today, the stream has dried up, women walk long distances for water, which is not always clean, and children will never know what they have lost,” she said. “The challenge is to restore the home of the tadpoles and give back to our children a world of beauty and wonder."
