The initiative is expected to contribute to bringing faith and hope to African children who have suffered greatly from civil wars and live in extremely difficult conditions in refugee camps.

June 16th is the Day of African Children (DAC). On this day in 1976, in Soweto, South Africa, tens of thousands of African students marched to protest the poor quality of education in Africa and demand the right to learn in their mother tongue. During the two weeks of protests, more than 100 students were killed and over 1,000 were injured. The Organization of Africans (OAU) decided to designate this day as the Day of African Children to raise awareness of the need for continued improvement in the quality of education for children in the region.
