У цьому нам допомагає наш життєвий досвід, який ми накопичували протягом багатьох років, коли вчилися перемагати і досягати успіху, долати труднощі і негаразди. Але наші діти такого досвіду не мають.

The period of early development from conception until children reach age eight (8) are the most important in terms of unlocking full potentials – and as such – for securing sustainable development. It is for this reason that access to comprehensive, quality Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes and services is recognised as both a fundamental right in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The CRC is the overarching normative and legal framework for ECD and the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world. In Africa, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare…
