  • 🧼✨ What if your child could become a hero today? To mark Global Handwashing Day, U-Reporters from the North and Far North of Cameroon are on a mission: turning everyday children into hygiene heroes. In schools across Maroua, children are learning through fun, hands-on demonstrations, supported by essential hygiene kits provided by UNICEF’s WASH section. These kits — including soap, 15L and 20L buckets with taps, kettles, hand sanitizer, and posters — were distributed to 11 U-Report communities to help embed lasting hygiene habits. 👧🏽👦🏽 The impact is already visible: 🔹 56 girls and 64 boys at the Islamic Nursery School of Doualare 🔹 263 girls and 314 boys at the Islamic Primary School of Doualare But the most powerful feedback came from the school itself: 💬 “We hope you’ll come back to talk to our children about other topics. Your visit was truly beneficial for both us as educators and for our pupils.” — Mme Abdoulaye, Headmistress of the Islamic Nursery School of Doualare 💙 Parents, teachers, children — you too can be handwashing heroes! One simple gesture. A lifetime of protection. Let’s make hygiene a daily habit and a shared responsibility. 📢 Spread the message. Practice the habit. Be the change. #HandwashingHeroes #GlobalHandwashingDay #UReport #UNICEFCameroon #HygieneForAll #ChildHealth #CleanHandsSaveLives

  • A Day of Transformation Have you ever wondered what happens when young girls are empowered to lead change? Today, in honor of the International Day of the Girl Child, we witnessed an inspiring event in Bertoua that explored just that. Under the captivating theme “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls at the Frontline of Crisis,” these remarkable girls engaged in an interactive session that uncovered vital knowledge about sustainable development, peace, and conflict resolution. But that's not all—an engaging debate unfolded, emphasizing why girls must have a seat at the decision-making table. What insights did they share? How did their voices resonate? As the world pauses to recognize this pivotal day, UNICEF Cameroon stands alongside the global community, advocating for gender equality and amplifying the voices of these future leaders. What changes could they inspire in our world? Join us in discovering the answers!

    A chance for children in Gaza to be children again. With the ceasefire in Gaza in effect, UNICEF is ready to deliver the life-saving aid that children and families need - for health, nutrition, education and more. The ceasefire must be sustained and respected, placing children’s rights at the very centre.

  • United Nations Field Insights from Mbébé and Kikot: A Glimpse into Community Realities During the recent joint United Nations field mission to the Kikot–Mbébé Hydroelectric Project site, the delegation of Heads of United Nations Agencies in #Cameroon made a meaningful stop at Mbébé Public School—a modest institution with just two classrooms and one dedicated government teacher serving pupils from Class 1 to 6. Among the 20 enrolled children, only six are girls—a statistic that quietly speaks volumes about the challenges of rural education and gender disparities in project-affected communities. This visit served as a reminder of the importance of integrating education, gender equality, and child protection into development initiatives. It reaffirmed the UN’s commitment to inclusive, rights-based approaches that prioritise the needs of every child. 🌾 In Kikot, the delegation also met with a dynamic group of 12 women farmers who have come together to manage a community farm. Their cultivation of cassava, plantain, and tomatoes reflects not only agricultural resilience but also the strength of local women’s leadership in advancing food security and economic empowerment. These encounters provided valuable insights into the lived realities of communities and the potential for development projects to serve as catalysts for social transformation when they are designed with people at their centre. How can we ensure that every infrastructure project becomes a platform for inclusive growth? #UNCameroon #FieldMission #CommunityEngagement #EducationMatters #GenderEquality #WomenEmpowerment #SustainableDevelopment #KikotMbébéProject #LeaveNoOneBehind
