Keeping it real

[Preetha Prabhakaran @preeprabhakaran]

If you can't fly, then run.
If you can't run, then walk.
If you can't walk, then crawl.
But by all means, keep moving.

It has been 4-years since adolescent girls in Afghanistan were barred from attending school beyond grade 6.

UNICEF urgently calls on the de facto authorities to lift the ban and allow every girl in #Afghanistan to attend school.

“Behind every vaccine dose delivered is a network of committed health workers like Karima,” writes Sharifa, a colleague from @UNICEFAfg.

Investing in health workers like Karima means families know better and more children are protected from preventable diseases.

The sun is out, dreams are alive, and the mood is just right outside this community-based education class in Bamyan province.
Together with @ADB_HQ, @GPforEducation and @WorldBankSAsia we deliver notebooks, backpacks, pens and more to get children set for learning!

As a new school year begins in Afghanistan, it marks 3 years since the start of the ban on girls' secondary education.

The consequences for these girls, and for Afghanistan, are catastrophic.👇 https://t.co/5c3X6RrpLF

Funding cuts by numerous donor countries will limit UNICEF’s ability to reach millions of children in dire need.

UNICEF implores all donors to continue to fund critical aid programs for the world’s children.

We cannot fail them now.👇 https://t.co/rxdDZmkHEK

[Dr. Tajudeen Oyewale @TajudeenOyewale]

In 2024, 23.7M people, including 12.6M children, needed humanitarian assistance in #Afghanistan. With donor support, @UNICEFAfg reached over 19M people with lifesaving assistance.

Financial equality is a cornerstone of #GenderEquality. Women will never be treated as equals unless they are equipped to become financially independent. This video by #Paytm brilliantly shows how gender differences in finance shape #genderinequality

Right from pregnancy, mothers & babies are connected. Healthy mothers = healthy babies. Thanks to Kirk Humanitarian, 100 million tablets of micronutrient supplements are on their way to help 500,000 pregnant women get the nutrients they & their babies need to survive & thrive.
