Day of the African Child 2026: Ensuring safe water and sanitation for every child in Sierra Leone.
Children, young people and communities must be part of designing and sustaining WASH solutions that respond to local realities and needs.
On 16 June 2026, Sierra Leone joins countries across Africa to commemorate the Day of the African Child under the theme: “Ensuring universal access to water, sanitation and hygiene for every child in Africa.”
This year’s theme shines a spotlight on one of the most basic yet essential foundations for every child’s survival, dignity and future: access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
