Each year – on or around Universal Children’s Day – people of faith are encouraged to collaborate with their local communities to celebrate the Day of Prayer and Action for Children. Whether you are a religious leader, child care professional, parent or young adult, you can take action in your own community and make a difference in the lives of children and their families.
In the Planning Guide, you will find a number of resources to help plan a successful Day of Prayer and Action for Children. The Planning Guide will explain how to organize a successful Day of Prayer and Action for Children.
