When children’s voices are heard, communities become stronger, and policy becomes more effective. On Thursday, UNICEF South Africa witnessed and supported children at the 2025 Nelson Mandela Children’s Parliament, which focused on amplifying the voices of children in planning and budgeting processes. We're proud to support the Nelson Mandela Children’s Parliament, and our commitment is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: that investing in children’s participation is investing in South Africa’s future governance.   #ForEveryChild, a voice.

5 October is #WorldTeachersDay. 👨🏫 👩🏫 A day to celebrate how teachers transform education and reflect on the support they need to fully impact children. To all wonderful teachers in South Africa, we say "thank you" for your dedication and hard work.

Over 95% of children and young people in South Africa access the internet. They have every right to enjoy the benefits it offers, but they must be equipped to navigate it safely. This is the message highlighted by children at a G20 online safety side event hosted by UNICEF, together with the Norwegian Embassy in South Africa and The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies this week. The gathering was a reminder that online safety isn't the responsibility of children alone but requires joint action from all of us, including government, schools, families, law enforcement and the tech industry. #ForEveryChild, protection.

When schools lack access to safe and adequate water and sanitation, learning is disrupted and vital progress is slowed. UNICEF South Africa, together with government and partners, is committed to advocating for the rights of every child to ensure the protection of their health and education.

Did you know? Reading out loud with children makes learning exciting and motivates them to give their best in the classroom and at home. #ForEveryChild, education.

Schools should be a place of safety and nurturing – not violence. When violence infiltrates our schools, it threatens the future of our children. #ForEveryChild to access quality education, we must come together to #EndViolence in schools.
