15-year-old Martha from Isoka District once faced an uncertain future. Many days, her family survived on only one meal. School felt difficult because her parents struggled to afford uniforms, learning materials, and other school needs. Access to clean water was another challenge. Martha and her siblings often went several days without bathing because the family walked long distances to collect water from a stream shared with animals.

To mark the Day of the African Child, hundreds of children in Ngandu, Kinshasa, took to the streets to raise awareness about the importance of safe water, hygiene, and sanitation.

The celebration highlighted the vital role children can play in driving positive change and promoting a healthier future for all.
