Divas of colour 2016 focuses on the importance of protecting the child in support of the efforts of our chosen charities, Girl Child Network Worldwide and Star Children Initiative. Especially the dignity and image of the African child. We believe that decades of unchecked activities of so many charities have done so much bad than good in damaging the self esteem of African children. As much as we try to clothe and feed them physically, we also have to understand that their dignity and self esteem is as important .
With this in mind, we have selected younger speakers who have clear understanding of the needs of this generation child’s needs. With their expertise, they will be able to emphasise on these issues raising awareness and educating the adults on ways to protect the child both emotionally, psychologically and physically.
