"The climate crisis is a child rights crisis."

​U-Reporter Nicole Kalipinde from Zimbabwe calls on young people to take their seat at decision-making tables like #COP31!

​Have your say and help shape youth representation—SMS COP31 to 594 today!

Our Youth Advocates have taken over the National Child Protection Conference with one mission: to ask policymakers, ambassadors and government leaders one simple question:

What #OneStep are you taking to protect children and uphold their rights?

[UNICEF ZIMBABWE @UNICEFZIMBABWE]

"We must invest in children because they are partners in shaping the future."
At the National Child Protection Conference, Edgar Moyo, @mpslswzim , reflected on his engagement with the Junior Parliament, emphasising that young people must be part of decisions that affect them

Honoured to be part of this important conversation on child protection with @UNICEFZIMBABWE . Every child deserves to be safe, heard and given the opportunity to thrive. 💙

"We say children are the future, but in reality, they are the present. If we don't have a proper present, we won't have a proper future."
​Our Youth Advocates are leading the way, explaining how just #OneStep can champion child rights, climate action, and education! 🇿🇼

Today, as we celebrate #DAC, UNICEF🇿🇼 launches the #OneStep Campaign — a call on each of us to take one deliberate step to help every child survive & reach their full potential. As @UNICEF approaches 80 years of service to children, one question remains: What step will you take?

[Etona Ekole @EtonaEkole]

As @UNICEF🇿🇼 launches the #OneStep Campaign, I invite all of us to reflect on a simple but powerful question: What step will you take for a child?

As UNICEF approaches 80 years of service, we celebrate the progress made for children while acknowledging that we need to do more.

I grew up attending ZITF. Now I’m experiencing it from a completely different position.
Same place. Different understanding.
You don’t outgrow ZITF you grow into it.

Exhibiting under the Green Transition project at ZITF 2026 showed me how much youth innovation is happening across different regions and countries. Different ideas. In the same direction, building sustainable futures.

Parents asking for help to download the Rerai Umntwana app by UNICEF &MOHCC on the spot made me realise that when something is useful and accessible, people don’t need convincing they just need access.

I used to think exporting was just shipping goods out, but the Export Readiness Training made me realise it’s about branding, strategy, positioning, and months of preparation long before anything leaves the country.

Did you know road water during the rainy season can actually be harvested and reused? The water harvesting training by @LID_Agency_ZW changed how I see Bulawayo’s rainfall from floodingto opportunity. Small systems. Real impact. Closer solutions than we think.

Spent 3 days with 43 young leaders from all 10 provinces of Zimbabwe
Shifted from understanding policy → to tracking it, questioning it, and using it for real influence. Awareness is not enough. Understanding is where the work begins. @zimyouthcouncil

We charge our phones at 50% 🔋
Why do we wait until a crisis to act on climate change? 🌍
In this U-Report clip, I spoke about urgency. Prevention matters. Action must start now, not when it’s too late.
Nothing for us, without us. ✊🏽

Honoured to be part of the UNICEF CPD consultations, a space where children and young people actively shape future priorities. It was youth-centred, interactive, and inclusive. Proof that meaningful participation leads to stronger programmes.
Nothing for us, without us🩵!

[UNICEF ZIMBABWE @UNICEFZIMBABWE]

2/3 Young people highlighted key priorities: stronger education & life skills, protection from violence, birth registration, access to healthy foods, disaster safety, and inclusion of underserved communities, including children with disabilities.

[Denise J. Mudau @DMudau95613]

I participated in the Gov of Zimbabwe & @UNICEFZIMBABWE Annual Review, reflecting on progress, challenges, and accountability for children’s rights.
Encouraging to see continuity, youth participation, and gradual progress despite real constraints.
Nothing for US without US💙
