Last Saturday 13 December, Joanna Waddington, Founder and Country Director of Ace Africa Tanzania, attended the Stars Impact Award 2014 ceremony in London.

Last week Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi, two renowned children’s rights activists and advocates, officially received the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway. This is a groundbreaking decision which puts children’s rights at the top of the international human rights agenda.
As we are celebrating today the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we would like to call attention to the need to urgently address the particular vulnerabilities of children with disabilities.
Child to Child celebrates the 25th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) with an article published in ‘Opinion Internationale’.
