No Child 2020 is a project of The Children's Rights Alliance, Eurochild Irish member, and The Irish Times aiming to address the fact Ireland the fastest growing economy in the Eurozone, while at the same time a country with the highest child poverty rates in Europe. To change this, No Child 2020 urges the Government to make sure every child:

  • Has a hot nutritious meal every day
  • Has access to healthcare
  • Has the opportunity to participate in community-based arts and cultural activities
  • Has access to free primary education
  • Live in an affordable and safe housing
