UNICEF’s annual celebration of the Childrensconvention

At M&P we take pride in our long-standing partnership with UNICEF, which began in 2006 with the launch of the Företag för Malawi initiative. For nearly two decades, we’ve worked alongside other committed companies to support UNICEF’s vital efforts in one of the world’s poorest countries. Through this collaboration, we’ve contributed to improving children’s access to education, healthcare, play, and safety, with several of our colleagues having had the privilege of participating in field visits to Malawi. Learn more about this initiative here: Företag för Malawi.

Our dedication to children’s rights is deeply aligned with UNICEF’s annual celebration of the Convention on the Rights of the Child on November 20. This day, established to commemorate the adoption of the convention in 1989, serves as a global call to action for ensuring all children have the right to a good life. As Pernilla Baralt, Secretary-General of UNICEF Sweden, reminds us: "We must engage for the best interests of children, together with children. Their participation is crucial for building a sustainable and inclusive future."

Let’s take this opportunity to celebrate Barnkonventionens dag and reaffirm our commitment to supporting vulnerable children in Malawi and beyond.
