Hold My Hand is a dynamic campaign where children and teenagers lead the way in support of the National Strategy to Accelerate Action for Children (NSAAC).

Our lived experience shapes who we become as individuals & as a nation. Imagine if all of us grew up thriving, it would create massive new opportunity for our country – a stronger economy and a safer, happier society.

3,000 children are born every day in South Africa; 1 million every year. They’re healthier, better educated and financially more protected than their parents were, but there seems to be a slowing of the gains of the past thirty years, even signs of reversal. We know that when all of society gets behind a national programme for children that is driven then action can be accelerated: what Hold My Hand is all about.
