About this title

Synopsis

This book introduces Khadra to us, a young girl living in a desert landscape and describes how she turned her home into an oasis. "The Tree of Hope", written by our Youth Ambassador Kehkashan Basu, is an inspiring story of a girl who makes a difference, rising beyond conflict and drought, by planting and caring for trees, to benefit her whole community.Through the Voices of Future Generations Children’s Book Series, we share two key promises that the world has made to you and to future generations: The Convention on the Rights of the Child and The Future We Want Declaration. These upcoming years are crucial as world leaders will agree on a new sustainable development framework for the next 15 years. The proposed 17 goals include targets to end poverty, to ensure healthy lives and quality education and to combat climate change, among others. The decisions taken will undoubtedly have a huge impact on children’s lives and rights today as well as the lives and rights of future generations.
