  • Closer To Home

    Posted by Kids Of Canada ·

    It's easy to think that homelessness isn't a problem in Canada, a "first-world" country. However, it's much closer to home than we think.

    As many children in Canada head into the first weeks of summer vacation, for many others, their summer vacations will never start. That’s because they were never in school to begin with. Worldwide, one in every five children, adolescents and youth is out of school – that is more than 263 million kids being denied their right to education.

  • The State of Children’s Mental Health & What We Can Do

    Posted by Guest Author ·

    It was Mahatma Gandhi who said, “A nation’s greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members”. With that in mind, we must remember that children are some of the most vulnerable members of society and it is our duty to take responsibility and ensure the well-being of Canadian children.

  • The nowhere land where children on the move are someone else’s problem

    Posted by UNICEF ·

    Guest post by Sarah Crowe, senior UNICEF communications specialist for migrant and refugee response in Geneva.

    Hidden in the ghettos, scattered on the outskirts of this ancient turmeric-coloured city, milling about in centres are hundreds of migrants, stranded, with dashed hopes and unfulfilled dreams. They’re on the move to or from neighbouring nations or beyond.
