UNICEF Moldova’s Post

🌍 Around 412 million children worldwide live in extreme poverty (on less than ~3 USD a day), and nearly 900 million face multidimensional poverty — lacking essential needs such as food, water, education, or healthcare. In Moldova, according to the latest 2024 data from the National Bureau of Statistics: ➡️ 1 in 3 children lives in absolute monetary poverty, ➡️ and 17% experience extreme poverty. 🧒 No child should have to choose between food, school, or health. Today, we call on the international community and the private sector to join our efforts to break the cycle of poverty through: ✅ Strategic financing of social protection programmes for children and families; ✅ Sustainable investments in early education, healthcare, and safe housing; ✅ Innovative partnerships that bring expertise, know-how, and digital solutions for social inclusion. 🤝 Through lasting and trusted partnerships, we can turn UNICEF’s initiatives from plans into tangible realities for the most vulnerable children. 💙 #ChildrenCannotWait - they deserve action now. #EndChildPoverty #InternationalDayForEradicationOfPoverty #ForEveryChild
