Donate now to protect early childhood development

Early childhood offers a critical window of opportunity to shape the trajectory of a child’s holistic development and build a foundation for their future. For children to achieve their full potential, as is their human right, they need health care and nutrition, protection from harm and a sense of security, opportunities for early learning, and responsive caregiving – like talking, singing and playing – with parents and caregivers who love them. All of this is needed to nourish developing brains and fuel growing bodies. 

In the first few years of life, more than one million neural connections are formed each second – a pace never repeated again. 

Child protection and early child development is one of UNICEF's key priorities worldwide,.

Your generous support is important for the new generation of Greece.
