In alignment with the 2024 African Union theme for African Child Day, “Education for all Children in Africa: the Time is Now,” the Zanzibar Legal Services Centre (ZLSC) reaffirms its dedication to ensuring every child’s right to education. ZLSC actively works to remove barriers to education by providing legal support, advocacy, and awareness campaigns focused on child rights. By collaborating with schools, communities, and policymakers, ZLSC aims to create an environment where every child in Zanzibar has access to quality education and the opportunity to thrive.
Education is a cornerstone of a just society, and ZLSC is committed to addressing issues such as child labor, discrimination, and other obstacles that hinder educational access. Through legal interventions and community engagement, ZLSC strives to make the theme of this year’s African Child Day a reality, ensuring that all children, regardless of their background, can pursue their educational dreams. As we observe African Child Day 2024, ZLSC calls on all stakeholders to unite in the mission to provide inclusive and equitable education for every child in Zanzibar.
