As @UNICEFZIMBABWE Rep, I am grateful to all health workers, govt colleagues, and partners for their commitment to protecting the health of women and children. #WorldHealthDay

Working at @UNICEFZimbabwe inspires me every day.

I AM #ForEveryChild is more than a motto—it’s a call to action. Travelling across Zimbabwe, I’ve seen how a single act of kindness can change a child’s life. Their stories fuel my passion.
If we don’t stand for them, who will?
