Representatives from the Canadian Council on Social Development, Red por los Derechos de la Infancia en México (The Children’s Rights Network in Mexico), and the Annie E. Casey Foundation have come together to create the Children in North America Project based on our shared inter- est in the well-being of all children. We recognize that Canada, Mexico, and the United States have common bonds and challenges in ensuring that our children grow up healthy, not just because of geography, but also because of increasing economic, social, and cultural interaction. .
