As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, here at Safe Kids we are driven to take positive action. We recognize that a child's community, their background and where they live, can impact their access to resources and the safety of their environment. Dr. King dreamed of a future where his four children would “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” At Safe Kids Worldwide, we are inspired by his vision and dream of a future where ALL children, regardless of the gaps that exist between families and the safety resources they deserve, have the opportunity to grow up safe and injury free.
