Worldwide
The Universal Children's Day, first proposed by the United Nations in 1954, aimed to promote the rights of children and encourage actions for their welfare. The Universal Children's Day is celebrated in different manner across the world on different days, but the official date is November 20. Many countries declare UCD a national holiday with yearly celebrations, events and festivities.
In Bangladesh
Universal Children's Day was a little known concept here until organizations like JAAGO Foundation worked to promote this day and the values behind it. The number of people who understand the principals of UCD are increasing day-by-day. JAAGO hopes that this movement will one day achieve groundbreaking results in the lives of impoverished children.
2011 Campaign
JAAGO Foundation is hosting UCD 2011 throughout the nation on the 3rd of November. The volunteering portion takes youth volunteers to the streets in all seven divisions of Bangladesh. Children's Week involves primary school children in projects related to Children's Rights. Make a Child Smile invites everyone around the world to share how they made one child happy.
