United for Children

A simple call to protect children, guide them gently, and keep their world safe and honest.

World Day of Prayer and Action for Children • 20 November 2025

Children move through the world with open hands, hoping the adults around them won’t let go. They depend on us long before they understand why life can be heavy.

Being “united for children” isn’t some big slogan. It’s the everyday choice to stand side by side for someone who can’t fight their battles yet. It’s adults putting aside the usual noise—ego, pressure, drama—and choosing what actually matters: kids growing up safe, steady, and seen.

It starts small.

• A home where patience wins over anger.

• A school where kindness isn’t just printed on posters but lived in hallways.

• A community where every child feels protected, not tested.

Prayer brings the quiet strength to do this. Action brings the proof.

Children don’t ask for perfection. They just look for people who won’t abandon them when life gets confusing. People who show them that goodness still has a place in this world.

“United for Children” is a reminder that childhood is short, but its impact lasts a lifetime—and the unity we build today becomes the foundation they’ll stand on tomorrow.

Classrooms Are Not Battlegrounds

A classroom should be a place for laughter and learning, not fear and silence. On September 9, the International Day to Protect Education from Attack reminds the world that schools are not battlefields. The 2025 theme—“Challenging narratives, reshaping action”—calls us to push back against twisted stories that justify violence and take real steps to protect the dream of education.

International Day to Protect Education from Attack

Once upon a time, a classroom was just a classroom—chalk dust in the air, kids laughing, teachers guiding. But in too many corners of the world, those walls have been turned into targets. Blackboards replaced by bullet holes. Silence replacing the sound of learning.

That’s why, every September 9, the world pauses for the International Day to Protect Education from Attack. It’s not just another date—it’s a reminder that the right to learn should never be interrupted by war.

In 2025, the theme says it all: “Challenging narratives, reshaping action.” Because too often, stories are twisted—violence gets justified, schools become statistics. This year asks us to flip the script. To push back against the lies that make attacks on education sound normal. To demand real action that doesn’t just patch broken walls but protects the dream inside them.

Think about it: protecting education isn’t just about today’s lessons. It’s about tomorrow’s doctors, artists, builders, musicians, dreamers. It’s about refusing to let fear take the teacher’s desk.

So on this day, the world unites with one voice: classrooms are for learning, never for war.
