The war in Ukraine forced 17-year-old Sofiia from Kharkiv to miss school, but with the help of UNICEF-supported catch-up classes, she’s back on track and now helping other children do the same. Here’s how she turned her challenges into a path toward becoming a doctor. #GirlGoals

From students to solar innovators! ⚡🌱 In Mongolia, 27 young people joined a four-day @genunlimited and UNICEF-supported renewable energy training. Now, they’re leading the way, teaching 2,000 more students about clean energy and helping develop solar-powered phone charging stations at schools. A better climate future is still in reach, but only if we act now to protect children and young people from the growing effects of the climate crisis. Governments and businesses must step up, invest in youth solutions, and ensure youth voices shape climate decisions at every level. #GreenRising #COP30

Joud, 16, from Gaza, loved going to school. But the war disrupted her education and displaced her family. UNICEF-supported temporary learning centres are providing children like Joud an opportunity to resume their education. So far, we have reached over 100,000 children across Gaza with learning support. “I come here every day because I want to achieve my dream — to become an engineer,” Joud says. To support the dreams of children like her, the ceasefire must be sustained and respected and children’s needs must be prioritized - now and in the future.

Peace. Love. Learning. Play. Family. That is what makes an ideal day for 10-year-old Elif from Türkiye. And it should not be just one day, it should be every day. Leave a 🩵 if you agree. #WorldChildrensDay

Every child has the right to breathe clean air. Yet millions are exposed daily to dangerous pollution at home, at school and on the streets. Solutions exist and a breath of fresh air is possible. Policies can help make clean choices possible so everyone can breathe easier. #COP30

Layah, 4, is happy to be playing with her friends amid clean-up activities at her school in St. James, Jamaica. Hurricane Melissa damaged and destroyed schools like hers, forcing children to miss classes. Over 280,000 children in Jamaica need urgent humanitarian assistance. UNICEF and partners are distributing “school-in-a-box” kits - waterproof boxes containing essential supplies like stationery - to the most affected schools, along with additional teaching and learning materials. UNICEF is also supporting essential services for nutrition, clean water, hygiene and sanitation, and mental health support. Donate today to help children affected by Hurricane Melissa: https://lnkd.in/gBrgJ84p
