Together w/ @WFP_SouthSudan & @MoGEISS Hon Awut in Aweil for #ADSF2024 to ensure all children can stay in school, be well fed and nourished & have the healthiest start in life! School feeding can help avoid drop outs & help protect girls from GBV & child marriage. @unicefssudan

[WFP South Sudan @WFP_SouthSudan]

School Meals can provide more than just nutritious food for hungry stomachs. In #SouthSudan, they also help provide a lifeline for young girls at risk of early marriage.

On African Day of School Feeding, WFP celebrates the access to education school meals programmes provide 👏🏿

Thank you @McGroartyME @WFP_SouthSudan for our continued partnership ensuring children fleeing conflict & suffering terrible malnutrition are able to seek care & treatment they deserve and so desperately need.

[UNICEF South Sudan @unicefssudan]

Together w/ our key partner @WFP_SouthSudan we are responding to the continuing crisis where thousands of children suffering from malnutrition are fleeing from Sudan into South Sudan. @HamidaLasseko & @McGroartyME speak more together on the crucial work from Renk @UNICEFAfrica

[UNICEF South Sudan @unicefssudan]

All children have the right to a childhood, but #Childmarriage undermines that right & others, including the rights to #health & #education.

Was an important short visit w/ our @WFP_SouthSudan & regional director Michael Dunford to Renk to see the ongoing impact of Sudan crisis esp. on children with malnutrition rates very high. We work together with WFP to treat women and children for acute malnutrition.

[WFP South Sudan @WFP_SouthSudan]

🚨 The crisis in Sudan is sending shockwaves around the region with malnutrition increasing rapidly among children who are languishing in temporary transit camps in #SouthSudan after fleeing the fighting 👇🏿

[UNICEF South Sudan @unicefssudan]

Strong policies and enforcement, as well as community involvement, are crucial to protecting #girls from the impacts of #childmarriage.

Together, let’s commit to #EndChildMarriage in #SouthSudan!

[Hamida Lasseko @HamidaLasseko]

So proud to see everyone come together at all levels of Govt, UN & CSO partners & the communities to launch the vaccine campaign to tackle the outbreak of Yellow Fever in Western Equatoria. Immunizing everybody is the best tool we have to halt the spread & protect children!

[UNICEF South Sudan @unicefssudan]

📍 Western Equatoria State, 🇸🇸

Today, the @MoHsouthsudan joined by @UNICEF & @WHOSouthSudan launched the Yellow Fever vaccination campaign 💉, following the confirmed outbreak in December 2023, to protect children & families affected.

[Hamida Lasseko @HamidaLasseko]

Watch this powerful & inspirational video to kick off our campaign supporting ending child marriage in 🇸🇸. Half of girls are married before 18. Together we can put an end to this practice through changing social norms, advocacy & communication @unicefssudan

Today @unicefssudan staff lowered the 🇺🇳 & UNICEF flags to half-mast & stood together in a moment of silence to mourn & honour the aid workers lost in Gaza & remember all aid workers across the world including in South Sudan who have lost their lives in humanitarian service.

[UNICEF South Sudan @unicefssudan]

More children in 🇸🇸 will have access to routine immunization services!

Thanks to the generous funding from @CanSouthSudan, @unicefssudan in partnership w/ @MoHsouthsudan provided 80 motorcycles to strengthen immunization services across the country.

It was such a vibrant and energy filled event & I was so pleased to handover this reconstructed girls school w/ @MinistrySsd in Bentiu. Tks to @AfDB_Group for all support to improving quality education especially for girls in South Sudan.

[UNICEF South Sudan @unicefssudan]

There is no #QualityEducation without good infrastructure.
In #Bentiu today, @unicefssudan handed over a newly built school funded by @AfDB_Group following a monitoring visit last week to assess the construction work.
