Little Artists Big Dreams Drawing Competition

Join China Children’s Week 2018

Little Artists Big Dreams Drawing Competition

for every child, a better world

Hong Kong Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF HK) will hold the China Children's Week 2018 – Little Artists Big Dreams Drawing Competition at Central Lawn, Nursery Park, West Kowloon Cultural District on 18 March 2018 (Sunday). Under the theme ‘for every child, a better world’, the competition will raise funds for UNICEF’s 'Cash Transfers for Deprived Children' (CCT) Project in China, dedicated to giving a good start in life for every child by improving the maternal and child health services in rural China. This year, under the theme ‘for every child, a better world’, UNICEF HK has collaborated with cartoon character Din Dong to launch the all-new Comic Strip Drawing Challenge. Din-Dong, full of positive energy and dreams, will inspire young artists to create a good start in life for every child with their compassion and imagination.This year’s event will be once again fully supported by Principal Sponsor, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Limited.

Although families from remote and deprived areas are now entitled to free hospital delivery and health care services, suspension of work and high travelling costs make them reluctant to access these services and lead to high maternal and neonatal mortality rates. Since 2013, UNICEF HK has allocated the funds raised in China Children's Week to the CCT project launched by UNICEF in 15 counties in Yunnan, Gansu and Sichuan. Through the initiative, women from underprivileged families will receive cash subsidies, enabling their access to prenatal and postnatal checkups, hospital delivery and vaccinations for their babies. By December 2017, over 20,000 women and children have benefitted from this project.
