God created the family, and children are a gift from Him. In fact, the Bible says that offspring are a reward from Him! Because of this, God cares about how children are raised and nurtured. In the African context children are viewed in this image. The common traditional characteristics of African children include: the early maturity in self-discipline, the aspiration for education, respect for traditional values, early search for identity, and a wholesome spirit of cooperation and dependence on one another. Despite these traditional values, there are a lot of problems that African children experience.
Millions of children are living in constant terror in the midst of terror and violence. War, Hunger, poverty, violence and armed conflicts cause children to be fleeing – alone or with their families.

Pre-term birth rate is the highest in the world, at 13 per cent.
