✅The desire for family isn't disappearing. What's missing is opportunity. 💭
✅ Financial security tops the list of what young people need for partnership & parenthood
✅ #1 reason people want children? Simply joy - not pressure, not policy.

Can #Ethiopians come together to deal with the human toll of conflict?  Yes, they can!  And UNDP has an idea about how to do it: Rebuild HER Business, a crowdfunding campaign w @greatethrun to help women rebuild their businesses in Afar, Amhara and Tigray.

.@UNDP We’re tapping into an overlooked asset: what people in least developed countries know. Grassroots innovations are often ahead of the market. They ground us. And they are a source of hope.
