Every Child Deserves a Childhood.
Campaign Message
Today, nearly 1 in 10 children worldwide are trapped in child labour.

Join the Global 6K movement!

Walk, run, or roll 6K this June to bring life-saving water to children and communities in need. Did you know that children in developing countries on average have to walk 6 kilometres every day to collect water? But by signing up for our Global 6K, every step you take is one they won’t have to.
