At just 20, Lương Thị Bạch Dương is turning her childhood struggles into solutions for her community in Viet Nam. Through UPSHIFT 2025, UNICEF’s social innovation program with AIESEC, her team Seeds of Hope is working to revive traditional Khmer crafts to generate jobs for women, elders, and people with disabilities. The goal is to help families gain stability, so that children have the chance to stay in school and thrive. But for Dương, the real win is not just the project: it’s discovering her voice, her confidence, and her role as a changemaker. This is where cross-sector collaboration matters: when business, government and civil society align, young innovators like Dương can scale solutions that strengthen community resilience.

When girls are empowered, they lead the way—especially in times of crisis. In East Asia and the Pacific, girls on the frontlines of climate crises are turning challenges into solutions that strengthen communities. #UNICEFInternationalCouncil member Hannah Nguyen champions this vision, supporting programmes that equip girls to make decisions about their lives and fulfil their potential.

1 of 7 adolescents (aged 10–19) live with a mental disorder—yet governments allocate just 2% of health budgets to mental health worldwide. These are young lives affected silently, every day. For businesses, investors, and partners, this isn’t just a social issue—it’s an economic one. Every child and young person supported today builds a resilient community, a stronger workforce, and a healthier future. UNICEF is calling for: ▪️ Greater investment in mental health programs for children and adolescents ▪️ Cross-sector collaboration to scale solutions ▪️ Innovative approaches to leave no child behind #OnMyMind Ruth O'Connell Myo-Zin Nyunt June Kunugi UNICEF

Pages soaked. Covers torn. 7-year-old Thao's schoolbooks were among the many things damaged when floods caused by Typhoons Bualoi and Matmo swept through her school in Yen Binh commune, Lang Son province. With schools closed and learning materials damaged, children are losing precious hours of in-person learning. Together with our partners, UNICEF is working to help children return to school: restore safe learning spaces, provide cash assistance to affected families, and ensure children have access to clean water, sanitation, health care, and psychosocial support.

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.
