CURACAO:--- On Sunday, November 16th, 2025, Curaçao will once again come together in motion during Child First Foundation’s annual walk ‘Kaminata Yu i Tata’ (KYT25). Board member Ryan de Jongh will give the official start signal at 6:00 a.m. at the parking area of the Sociale Verzekeringsbank (SVB) on Pater Eeuwensweg in Otrobanda. Bridge between child and father.
The walk takes participants across the iconic bridges of Willemstad – a powerful symbol of the bridges that connect fathers and children, featuring contributions from various local artists along the route.
The mission of Child First is to encourage the active and positive presence of Fathers in their Children’s lives. A committed Father figure greatly increases the chances for Children to grow into self-aware, resilient, and successful world citizens. Everyone is welcome – fathers, mothers, family members, and other supporters – to join the walk and send a strong message that children have the right to a loving and involved father figure. The participation fee is XCG 15 for children and XCG 25 for adults, including a wristband, water, fruit, pan dushi, and a wonderful sense of wellbeing and community. Wristbands will be available from the end of October at 24 uur uit de Muur at Pompstation Sta. Maria and at De Jongh’s Sporthuis Saliña. Proceeds for the benefit of children.
All proceeds from the walk will go entirely to Child First Foundation's programs and activities. With these funds, the foundation invests in raising awareness in society about the fundamental right of Children to an active relationship with their father, particularly in cases where parents are no longer living together. This broad support contributes to personal growth, fostering the development of self-aware, resilient, and meaningful world citizens. Child First Foundation warmly invites everyone to take part in Kaminata Yu i Tata 2025 on Sunday, November 16th, and contribute to the well-being and future of the children of Curaçao.
