What does inclusive education look like in the Southwest region? 🌍

@UNICEF & @CBCHSORG met with children with disabilities, parents & leaders.
Gaps remain: stigma, lack of awareness & rural transport barriers for assistive devices.

Time to change perspective: See the child, not the disability. 💙

Today, on the Day of the African Child, Alice & friends in the Democratic Republic of Congo, share the challenges they face accessing safe water in their schools & communities.

Every child deserves safe water. Every day.
Not a privilege, just their right.

[Gilles Fagninou @GillesFagninou]

On the 2026 Day of the African Child, West and Central Africa has an opportunity to turn ambition into action. Safe water keeps children healthy, supports learning, and protects dignity. Together, we can make this right a reality for every child. #DAC2026

+++++++++++++++++++++++

For children, safe water is not an abstract concept. It is the foundation of health, learning, protection, and dignity. It enables children to thrive, attend school, and realize their full potential. This right must be experienced in their daily lives - especially in schools, in health facilities, and across their communities.

This year’s theme, “Ensuring universal access to water, sanitation, and hygiene for every child in Africa,” is both a call to action and a reminder of our collective responsibility. It aligns directly with Africa’s Agenda 2063 vision and the continent’s ambition to ensure that sustainable water and sanitation become realities for every child and every family.

Across West and Central Africa, we know that when safe water is absent, children bear the greatest burden—through disease, interrupted learning, heightened risks for girls and women, and lost opportunities to thrive. Yet we also know that progress is possible when governments, communities, and partners act together with urgency, innovation, and purpose.

As momentum builds toward the 2026 United Nations Water Conference, following the important Dakar High-Level Preparatory Meeting earlier this year, let us continue to place children’s rights at the centre of every policy, partnership, and investment in water and sanitation.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment. Together, we can turn the right to safe water from aspiration into lived reality for every child.

Happy Day of the African Child.

Can a single sip of water shatter a child’s future? 💔

In Cameroon, thousands of children aren't walking to school today—they are walking miles for water. Often, it’s contaminated.
Every unsafe drop threatens their health, education, and dignity. On this Day of the African Child 2026, @unicefcameroon reminds us: Clean water isn't a privilege. It’s a fundamental right.

Securing clean water means unlocking the potential of an entire generation. More time in school, fewer diseases, brighter futures. ✨💧

Action starts with awareness. Help us make clean water a reality for every child: 👇

📅 This #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour, we remind everyone: a child’s place is in school, not in a gold mine or market. 🎒🇨🇲

With the vital support of @koicacameroon , @unicefcameroon built new classrooms in Mbal, Eastern Region, to give #children a safe space to learn and encourage them to return to school. 🏫✨

We must end child labour to ensure every child's right to education and development. It is a non-negotiable right.

👇 What is the most urgent action our communities can take to stop child labour? Let us know below!

✨ Pens, not burdens. ✨

Who truly owns the game? Corporate giants... or the children who play it? 🇨🇲⚽️

Across Cameroon, our youth are reclaiming the pitch. It’s time to kick junk food marketing out of sports and protect our children's health and future.
