Pray for children who are forced to work

Pray for children who are forced to work

On World Day Against Child Labour, join us in praying for children who are forced to work.

  • Pray for the 168 million children worldwide trapped in child labour. This accounts for 11 percent of the total child population.*
  • Ask God to protect those who are engaged in hazardous work. The UNDP Human Development Report tells us this is around half of working children.
  • This year, World Day Against Child Labour is focused on ending child labour and supply chains. Ask for awareness and action amongst industry leaders.
  • Pray for the 60 percent of child labourers who work in the agricultural industry. 

“See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.” Matthew 18:10-11
