This stamp commemorates the International Year of the Child, proclaimed by the United Nations for 1979 to promote the welfare, protection, and development of children around the world. The international observance focused attention on children's rights, health, education, nutrition, and access to opportunities that would help them reach their full potential. Governments, international organizations, and community groups participated in programs designed to improve the lives of young people and raise public awareness of issues affecting children.

The issue highlights the importance of providing children with care, education, and protection, while emphasizing their role as the foundation of future social and economic progress.
