From less than 50% to 68% Ebola preparedness: significant progress thanks to the government’s leadership.

UNICEF is proud to contribute to this effort, thanks to its partners's financial contributions: @USEmbassy, Sweden (@Sida), @OCHAFunds by strengthening response capacities.

“At first, I was devastated & gave up on my studies. But I picked myself up & continued my education at CAFBAC school in Bangui.”

Today, 98 students receive education for visually impaired learners at CAFBAC Damala.

In CAR, nearly 8 out of 10 people lack access to basic handwashing facilities.

On #GlobalHandwashingDay, UNICEF joined the Ministry of Water Resources & Energy Development in Pissa to call for urgent action: water, soap & hygiene must be accessible for every child and family.

A simple gesture that saves lives!

Since cholera hit their village of Wayambo, Chancelle & her little sister Graca have made a habit of washing their hands with soap & water at home.

Their parents have taught them that good hand hygiene helps prevent many diseases.

This afternoon a delegation from the @GlobalFund visited the UNICEF warehouse in #Bangui to understand how health supplies reach children and families. So far in 2026, $7.3m in essential supplies have been distributed throughout the country. The modern warehouse opened in 2025.

Direct support for frontline health workers: UNICEF and the US Government 🇺🇸 delivered 2,600 PPE items to the @MSPCentrafrique on Friday for Ebola prevention.

Part of a $1M grant, 38,600 additional units will arrive in the coming weeks to reinforce readiness.

Over 2 million vaccine doses for routine immunisation. A major step forward for the right to vaccination

Thanks to the SENI-Plus Project, funded by @WorldBankGroup , we’re strengthening the health system to protect + 200,000 children under 1 from preventable diseases every year.

By continuing their education, the girls at Somboke High School (Kemo) have goals in life.

They don't want to be among the 61% of the CAR 🇨🇫 girls married before the age of 18, 12 % of whom are married before the age of 15 (MICS).

Congratulations to the CAR youth team on their participation in the FIRST Global international robotics tournament held in the Republic of Korea. They secured seven wins out of 11 matches, ranking 35th out of 185 teams and coming second in Africa. Very proud!

The most painful wounds are not always the ones we can see.

On this #WorldMentalHealthDay, @UNICEF_CAR is joining hands with @GouvCF & @OMSCentrafrique to accompanying those suffering from mental health, particularly children.

Prevention & support.🩵

In Bétokomia, in the Paoua sub-prefecture, #learning in good conditions also means being able to count on a meal at school.

I had the pleasure of accompanying the WFP Acting Executive Director @WFPChief on a visit to Bétokomia School, where our efforts complement each other for the benefit of children.

#UNICEF contributes by building classrooms and providing school kits, while #WFP supports the school feeding programme.

Together, we are creating a more supportive environment for learning, school attendance and children’s well-being. Because every child deserves to be in school, to learn and to grow in the best possible conditions.

Every year, thousands of children fall ill because of contaminated water.

Treating water 💧 before drinking it, washing hands with soap and protecting water sources save lives.

[UNICEF Central African Republic @UNICEF_CAR]

In the early days of a crisis every item counts.

Buckets & jerrycans for carrying & storing drinking water.

Blankets & tarpaulins to protect families.

Through its emergency kits, UNICEF provides essential aid to children & communities affected by crises.

Solange Detounzou has been a teacher since 2012 and teaches at Ndokaffir School in Ndele. In her class, she has 190 girls who attend the afternoon session. “I’m passionate about my work and despite the difficulties, at the end of the day I don’t feel tired.” #WorldTeachersDay

World Teachers’ Day

Today, we celebrate those who shape the future by sharing #knowledge, inspiring curiosity, and guiding every #child along their learning journey.

Because a well-trained teacher is a key driver of student success, continuous professional development is essential. Training and capacity-building opportunities enable teachers to adopt innovative teaching methods, respond to the needs of every learner, and deliver quality education for all children.

At UNICEF, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting teachers, the true pillars of the education system, so that every child can learn, thrive, and reach their full potential.

Thank you to all teachers for their dedication and for helping build a better future for every child.
