INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL CHILD 2026

Today, 11 October, Concern for Women and Children Development Foundation (COWACDI) joins the global community in celebrating the strength, potential, creativity, and resilience of every girl child. Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, lead, and live in a safe and supportive environment. Yet, many girls continue to face barriers such as gender-based violence, child marriage, discrimination, limited access to education, and exclusion from decision-making.

At COWACDI, we believe that investing in girls is investing in a brighter, more inclusive, and sustainable future. We remain committed to promoting the rights, protection, education, empowerment, and meaningful participation of girls, ensuring that every girl has the opportunity to reach her full potential.

A girl with opportunities becomes a woman with choices, a leader with vision, and a force for positive change.

This International Day of the Girl Child, let us move beyond celebration to action. Together, we can build a world where every girl is valued, protected, empowered, and given the opportunity to shape her own future.                                                                                                         COWACDI — Championing the Rights, Protection, and Empowerment of Women and Children.

International Day of Peace 2026

Peace Begins With Us. Together, We Build a Better World.

Today, Concern for Women and Children Development Initiative Foundation (COWACDI) joins communities around the world in commemorating the International Day of Peace. Peace is more than the absence of conflict—it is the presence of justice, dignity, equality, inclusion, and opportunity for everyone. For women and children, peace means growing up free from violence, discrimination, exploitation, and fear. It means having access to education, healthcare, protection, and the opportunity to shape a better future.

At COWACDI, we believe that sustainable peace starts within our homes, communities, and institutions. By promoting the rights and well-being of women and children, strengthening communities, and advocating for equality and protection, we contribute to a more peaceful and resilient society.

This International Day of Peace, let us remember: peace is not only something we hope for—it is something we must build, protect, and practice every day.

COWACDI — Together, Let’s Build a Peaceful, Just, and Equal World for Women and Children.
