Girls and women have the ideas, the talent, and the solutions to disasters. Yet too often, barriers stand in their way. When girls are empowered, they lead change. When girls have the right space and support, they can influence policies, strengthen disaster planning, and drive sustainable solutions—building a better future for themselves and the world.

“The floodwaters rose to the first floor of our house. We lost electricity, water, and phone signal. The water supply has finally returned today, but I’m still worried about skin diseases,” 17-year-old Lanh shared when speaking with UNICEF staff at Huu Lung commune, Lang Son province. UNICEF emergency teams are on the ground with government partners, assessing the impact of recent typhoons on children and communities. We support efforts to protect children’s health and safety, restore access to clean water, and help families recover with dignity.

In Kemabolo, Papua New Guinea, access to clean water was once a daily struggle—women and girls walking long distances, schools and health services limited, communities vulnerable to climate shocks. 🌍💧 Today, a solar-powered water supply system is transforming life for 30,000 people, including 12,000 children, while 450,000 more across the country benefit indirectly from benefit indirectly from strengthened infrastructure. UNICEF, in partnership with the Government of Korea, local authorities, and community leaders, is delivering climate-resilient infrastructure that strengthens health, education, and child protection. “Clean water is not just a basic need in life, it’s a right,” says Mackllah Gulu, head girl at Kemabolo Day School.
