World Children's Day

Marathon is devoted to key global milestones that emphasize the importance of education in securing children's rights and futures.

Join us in celebrating the 70th Anniversary of World Children's Day!

To mark this milestone, we’re launching a transformative initiative: providing 400,000 schools across Africa with computer labs. This practical step will unlock new opportunities for hundreds of millions of children, equipping them with the skills needed for a brighter, more prosperous future.

Together, we can forge a brighter future for every child in Africa!

The number of African refugees and asylum seekers grew by 14 percent over the past year—to more than 45 million people.

Access to computer skills will boost education, attract investments, and protect children from all forms of exploitation and abuse.
