ITEC envisages a child-friendly South Africa where all children are able to access opportunities for optimal development.
We believe that children have the right to live in a safe, caring, and stimulating environment, and that they deserve the care and education that will equip them for tomorrow's world.

Our most fervent hope for 2015 is that children everywhere will be cared for, loved and protected. We hope that families, friends and teachers will be positive role-models, and that they will be able to provide excellent learning opportunities for children in their care.
During the year, there are a number of opportunities to advocate for children and families. Click on the links to find out more about each day. You can also download UNICEF’s Advocacy Calendar for South Africa 2015.
We hope 2015 brings great happiness to you, and to all children and their families.

ITEC was founded 25 years ago, in 1987. As we celebrate a quarter of a century of commitment to children, families and development, we reflect on the many friends and colleagues who have made ITEC what it is today.
