The International Day of the African Child is a special day celebrated on June 16 each year. It's a day to remember and honor the bravery of African children who stood up for their right to go to school in South Africa in 1976. They wanted a better education and a brighter future. This day also reminds us how important it is for all children in Africa to have the chance to learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment. People around the world use this day to talk about ways to make life better for African children.
