An important step to make the leap for transformational education in Mozambique!

Spent the morning with this inspiring group of girls from across Mozambique- future teachers, lawyers, business women, doctors, nurses, engineers, peace makers, ambassadors and ministers. We discussed how early marriage is destroying their futures and how education is the key!

[Mary Louise Eagleton @mleagleton]

During the International Conference on the 5th anniversary of the Law Against #ChildMarriage, government, parters, civil society, children and young people came together to reinforce commitments to create an environment where no child is forced into marriage.

Children hit by three devastating cyclones in a row in Mozambique - this is unprecedented and the impact has been severe. Children need your support to survive and thrive. https://t.co/cr8tzuEDiw

[UNICEF Moçambique @UNICEF_Moz]

Children in #Mozambique are facing an urgent and unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Without urgent support, many will be left without food, healthcare, and education.

Help us to ensure that the rights of every child are protected and fulfilled: https://t.co/6hCXYEICnA
