Celebrities and supporters share High Fives to back our #5for5 campaign
Early childhood development, Safe pregnancy and birth
We asked people to share pictures and videos of themselves high-fiving to raise awareness about early childhood development - here are some of the best shares.
The first five years set up a child for success in later life. Which is why ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï’s global #5for5 campaign is helping to change the way people think about early childhood development.
As part of #5for5, we asked today if you could share a picture or video of yourself high-fiving a child under five. If you haven’t done it already, here’s how to take part…
Loads of supporters are sharing their high fives on social media today. Here’s a roundup of some of the pictures and videos shared so far.
