Welcome to the Hurried Child Project website, a platform dedicated to championing the well-being of African children!

We’re delighted to have you join us on this vital journey toward nurturing the mental, psychological, social, and developmental health of African children. Here, we confront the pressing issues surrounding hurried practices and the resultant “hurried child syndrome” pervasive in African families.

At the heart of the Hurried Child Project lies our unwavering commitment to implementing interventions that are comprehensive, collaborative, and lasting, ensuring sustained benefits for children across short- medium- and long-term horizons. Recognizing the complex network of elements impacting a child’s welfare, we’ve crafted interventions addressing all parties involved, be it those directly or indirectly affecting the child and caregivers, nurturing a holistic approach to mental health and psychosocial well-being.

Our website serves as a beacon, shining light on hurried practices that detrimentally impact the overall welfare of the African child. Through raising awareness and fostering dialogue, we strive to bring attention to the urgency of addressing these practices.

As we embark on this critical mission, we recognize that genuine progress necessitates robust partnerships and collaboration. Together, we can forge a future where every African child thrives at their own pace, liberated from the burdens of a hurried childhood.

Thank you for joining us in this pivotal endeavor.
