Leaders convening for #UNGA High-Level Week are faced with a rapidly changing world: swiftly evolving technology, more frequent extreme weather events, and increasing unrest, shifting how we think about the future. Yet one thing remains the same: the future we are striving for is only possible by investing in our youngest children.  Research has shown us time and again that quality early childhood development programming has both immediate and long-term benefits for children and their communities,  improving education, health, social, and economic outcomes. It lays the foundation for lifelong learning, health, and productivity. Yet, only 2% of humanitarian assistance globally is dedicated to ECD. Our youngest children have the most to gain, yet receive the least. We need to equip them with the tools they need today to face the complex challenges of tomorrow.  This week, let’s all remember that an investment in ECD is an investment in our collective future: one that is more peaceful, healthy, and prosperous for all.

With 1 in 6 children growing up in conflict zones, the need to support young families has never been greater. That’s why we partnered with the The LEGO Foundation to launch Play to Learn, which pairs research-backed educational content with direct services to deepen learning, strengthen bonds with caregivers, and build foundational emotional skills that can last a lifetime. With over 33 million children reached across 32 countries, the program has played a critical role in helping children continue to learn when traditional services are disrupted.
