This river in Madagascar is completely dry - forcing some families to dig holes to find water. As climate change continues to aggravate the droughts and cyclones that plague this region, UNICEF is working to make safe and clean water accessible #ForEveryChild.

Millions of children are missing out on vaccines due to the COVID-19 pandemic, conflict, and misinformation. UNICEF vaccinates nearly half the world's children, to help secure a healthy future for all.
A photo with text: 18 million children did not receive a single vaccine dose in 2021. This is a child health crisis.

11,000. That's an estimated number of children that have been killed or maimed as a result of the conflict in Yemen. This is how UNICEF is supporting families.

Climate change does not discriminate. It knows no borders. We are all at risk – especially our children. Countries must reduce emissions drastically – this is the only long-term solution to the climate crisis.

You are not alone. 💙 If you are struggling with your mental health, talk to someone you trust. It takes a lot of courage to open up, but it’s the first step to getting the support you need and deserve. #OnMyMind
