This year, #Zimbabwe proudly hosts the 2024 Regional World Children’s Day #WCD2024 commemorations in Victoria Falls from Nov 15-17, welcoming Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe! Hear what children have to say:


A little dance and song is the spirit that brings everyone together for children. #WCD2024

Victoria Falls is shining with hope and love as it hosts #WCD2024! We had the pleasure of catching up with the famous Insizwa, who shared a powerful acappella rendition from The Lion King & sent their heartfelt wishes to the 7 countries gathered here. Happy World Children’s Day.



Proud of the incredible work by government and partners to elevate and empower learners across Zimbabwe. As we celebrate these milestones with colleagues here at Victoria Falls for #WCD2024, we still call for even more action to educate and uplift every African child.

This #WCD2024, hosted by Zimbabwe, brings together seven countries at the iconic Victoria Falls to amplify the voices of over 7,000 children, calling on all of us to unite for a future where every African child can thrive through education and skills. Let’s keep this promise.
