Global leadership is needed to optimize early childhood development for children with disabilities

UNICEF and other international bodies must prioritise development and education for children with disabilities to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With over 53 million children under five years old worldwide facing developmental disabilities, it’s time to take action.

Join us in this global mission for a brighter future!
