On World Day Against Child Labour, let us spread awareness to say No to Child Labour.
According to ILP there are about 125M victims of child labor globally.
The #SustainableDevelopmentGoals, has renewed its commitment to eliminating all forms of child labour by 2030.
Ana Aqra is committed to help children through education to work on their dreams instead of working in the field.

Let’s #WorkTogether to end it.

In honor of World Parents’ Day today, Ana Aqra started its early celebrations with students and their parents spending a school day together.

Parents were invited to spend a school day with their children at the center where they attended the circle time in class in which Ms. wafa and Ana Aqra’s teachers highlighted the role of parents in their children’s lives and the importance of their engagement in all aspects.

During the session one parent mentioned: “The Ana Aqra center provided us with the opportunity to attend parents’ meetings in a welcoming environment. The program raised my awareness on the possibility to be part of the learning and teaching process which helped me in supporting better my child”.
