Imagine a South Africa where
Zero children die of preventable causes
Zero children are out of school
Zero children fall victim to violence, abuse and exploitation.
Believe in Zero is our vision for children in South Africa - zero children who are forgotten, zero children whose rights are denied. But we know that we cannot do it alone. UNICEF is asking for your help in bringing together the community of those who believe in zero. Through collective action we can bring about change for all children.Zero children are out of school
Zero children fall victim to violence, abuse and exploitation.
UNICEF believes in Zero. Do you?
Why I believe in zero
-
We have to protect what is ideal for the sake of the little children in our country.
-
Every child deserves a childhood - a time to live, grow and play, free of violence, supported and loved.
-
Every child is born, so every child should live. Together, we can all help those less fortunate. Every voice should be heard, every hand reached out should be helped, and every hungry tummy should be fed. I know we do not lack resources, but we do lack kind individuals who want to help. Spread the w [...]
-
I believe that every child deserves a chance at life, and matters that prevent a child from achieving should be stopped!
-
I believe in zero because every child in South Africa deserves to appreciate the many opportunities that this wonderful country can offer them and then indeed live up to what we call a diverse and equal country...xoxo
-
No child should suffer and be deprived of an education.
-
it is time our community and country stand up and protect out children!!
-
Almost every person I have met has suffered from some form of child abuse, there is a silent epidemic in this country that is being passed on from one generation to the other. Our generation of adults must take the responsibility to stop the cycle of abuse and protect our children.
-
With 18million children in South Africa children really are our future. It is time we all focused together on building, protecting and inspiring them so as to grow each individually, and our country.
-
because they are the future. as adults we should protect them-if not us, who will?
-
As long as there are people who are willing to lend a helping hand, children will get the freedom they so deserve...children are very close to my heart
-
No child should ever be abused!
-
I believe in Zero because all children deserve to live in a world that is not filled with hate and bloodshed. They need to have food, a safe home to live in and love to surround them everyday.
-
I believe that change can take place if we all work together, set goals and believe in our dreams. Children are the future,they are the ones that are going to change the world, thats why it is important that they grow up with all the love, education,food to eat, activities they need in order to shap [...]
-
Why do you believe in zero? I believe in zero because the future that we speak of and wish to make brighter and prosperous, lies within the children that are both in school and out of school, the abused and exploited children and also the children that die of preventable diseases, that suffer negle [...]
-
I believe in ZERO. I believe that now is as good a time as any to lift up the kids of South Africa, and bring to the light all that is truth, to heal and help those who live in darkness, daily.
-
i believe in zero because i think that every child have the right to enjoy life and reach their own goals!
-
Protect our children, Save our future
-
I have a 6 year old nephew and I would hate to see him become part of these unsavoury statistics. I want to play a part in making his world a place where he can learn and live without fear.So it is because of him and my future kids that I believe in Zero.
-
I believe a child without a future is a child without hope. Hope is what will prevent these same children from growing up depending on crime to get by in life. Zero children forgotten = Zero future criminals.
-
Children are our future investment. Care now and raise a healty nation!
-
I believe in a world where no child dies of preventable causes, no child dies of starvation, and no child dies of "illiteracy".
-
I have a story to tell, it is a testimony that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us. I have been through it all, rape(mostly incest) many times, physical abuse, have had education challenges, health issues, but I believe together we can minimize these challenges for the upcoming [...]
-
All my life, people have been setting goals such as lets half the amount of abused children, lets half the amount of hungry children, lets half the amount of children with aids. I why only half? Is my question to those people, what about the rest, are they not important. I believe in zero because ev [...]

-
I believe all children should have the opportunity to strive to make the world a better place and they cannot do that without our love, help, encouragement and support. The children are our future!
-
I was brought up in a loving caring home that was just normal to us. It is not the case for so many others, just normal to them is pain, hunger and abuse. We need to stop this and substitute their reality for love, kindness and support.
-
Because it is possible
-
Far too many children are unhealthy and die due to the world epidemic of diabetes. Gestational diabetes is also of great danger to child and mother. The mist of ignorance and lack of knowledge needs to be blown away so that reality can step in and make a difference
-
as 0 people suffer only good comes from this.
-
Because every child has the right to enjoy life and to reach their full potential - and UNICEF helps them to realise these rights.
-
All children should have the choice of an education and to live their lives without fear.
-
I believe in zero because no child should die from preventable causes
-
The number of children who are victims of abuse and neglect is deplorable. We need to do all that is in our power to make it zero.
-
I believe in zero because we should strive for a world where children have the same opportunities wherever they live.
-
Children are the most vulnerable people in society, especially defenceless babies and toddlers. Everything needs to be done to make sure they are healthy, loved, protected and educated. EVERYTHING!
