World’s Tiniest Campaign ‘Minifesto’ Launched at UN— Campaigners demand investment to end global early years crisis!

Top early childhood organisations have launched the world’s tiniest campaign ‘Minifesto’ at the United Nations. This childlike document is small in size but enormous in its ambition, designed to grab the attention of global leaders and demand urgent action on early childhood development, a sector that has long been underfunded and overlooked.

The early years is when inequality sets in. Millions of the world's children go without the quality care and early learning they require.

90% of a child’s brain development takes place between birth and the age of five

Children who go to pre-school are nearly 50% more likely to finish high school no matter their background

Each dollar invested in early childhood education can yield a return as high as US $17 – breaking cycles of poverty and inequality
