Neyeem, 12, used to work as a porter at a train station to get by. Thanks to social workers at a @UNICEF Child Protection Hub, he no longer has to work & can access learning.

There is no place for child labour in our world. Every child must be allowed to thrive.

Two girls sheltering in the child spaces set up by UNICEF after Sunday's devastating fire in the Rohingya refugee camps.

@UNICEF’s utmost priority is to ensure that the 6,000 Rohingya refugee children whose shelters were consumed in the fire are safe, protected and supported.

Millions of children are exposed to severe water scarcity, caused by the escalating climate crisis.

At #COP27, young people are demanding commitments to protect the services they rely on and prioritize them in all climate investments.

Very grateful 🙏. This support will enable UNICEF to provide special education in a safe environment to children who have dropped out of school & live in areas with some of the highest rates of drop-out in the entire country so that they can catch up & return to classes!
