Happy Umuganura! @unicefrw joined @IntekoyUmuco and @RusiziDistrict for the 2026 National Umuganura celebrations, reaffirming our partnership with the @RwandaGov. Sharing milk with children, a gesture of care as we aim for 15% stunting by 2029, one harvest at a time.

[UNICEF Rwanda @unicefrw]

Six things @WHO and @UNICEF are asking of every country this week: stronger health systems, community counselling, marketing rules enforced, paid leave, care integrated from pregnancy onward, and support that holds even in crisis. Fairly short list. Big impact. #WBW2026

Global exclusive breastfeeding rose from around 37% in 2012 to over 47%. Rwanda's already at 81.8%, among the highest in the world. Not sheer willpower but paid leave, nursing breaks, health workers reaching mothers within hours of birth. We build the system, we get the outcome.

[UNICEF Rwanda @unicefrw]

A refugee camp. A hidden hillside village. A child with a disability far from care. Core Resources help UNICEF reach them, wherever they are. Thank you Germany, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Republic of Korea, Australia & Canada. https://t.co/vr11Uj7O9k

[Youth Advocates Network @Y_Advocates]

We live to inspire and grow together!

At #YAN, we didn't just bring ideas to build a movement. Beyond the strategy sessions, our real strength comes from supporting one another, working hard, and growing together as a family

Real leadership happens when connected voices unite.

[UNICEF Rwanda @unicefrw]

A child's cry from hunger sounds the same in any language. In South Sudan, conflict and flooding have pushed severe malnutrition to crisis levels. Let's help UNICEF deliver ready-to-use therapeutic food to the children who need it most. Donate now: https://t.co/wJd8UPAlMk

Adolescents from 4 districts of the Friends of Nature project shared innovations, activities & poems on their lived experiences of climate change. Alex Mugabo @REMA_Rwanda declared: "Adolescents aren't just the future, they're the present protectors of nature and ecosystems."

[UNICEF Rwanda @unicefrw]

Yesterday, with @AspireDebateR, we convened policymakers, partners & youth-led organizations to move youth engagement from symbolic to real leadership. Our Deputy Rep: climate change is a rights & equity issue hitting families hardest. Adolescents must lead resilient communities.
