RT @Gicumbi_Rwanda: Uyu munsi, tariki ya 12 Kanama 2026, muri @Nyankenke_G, hizihijwe Umunsi Mpuzamahanga w’Urubyiruko ku nsanganyamatsiko…

What does it mean that nearly 60% of Rwanda is under 25? Youth mental health isn't niche, it's national. "Stay Healthy" includes the mind, not just the body. You can't get empowered or go big otherwise. Ask a young person how they're really doing today. #InternationalYouthDay

Happy #IYD2026
Your future starts with a healthy choice.
💪Staying active, avoiding alcohol & drugs, and taking care of your well-being can help you stay focused, build confidence, make informed career choices, & unlock bigger opportunities.
What healthy habit keeps you on track?

[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.
