Today is World Food Day.

For some people food is something to be experimented with – creating mouth-watering dishes, entertaining friends, savouring flavours… For others food is a daily challenge, trying to scrape together enough money to buy something for the family to eat, knowing that they will never be satisfied.

June 16th marks the annual Day of the African Child. This year, the focus is on raising awareness of street children. Although Vision Africa does not deal specifically with street children, some of the projects we work with have given shelter to children who have been living on the streets.

Its adverse effects will be felt for a long time to come socially, economically, environmentally and politically. The country's highest leadership can no longer bury its head in the sand and assume the business as usual posture on pro-poor interventions.
