What do People Think about HCA Project?
The success of the project is measured not only by the number of activities implemented or targets achieved, but also by the changes in how government authorities, organizations, and communities perceive and act on issues affecting children and adolescents. When the voices of children and adolescents are heard, and every decision is guided by their best interests, this lays the foundation for building a sustainable, inclusive, compassionate, and modern city.
