Since 2000, child poverty has fallen by a third. However, climate shocks, conflict, and unpayable debts are reversing hard-won gains. Progress is possible, but only if we protect it. Children cannot wait. #EndChildPoverty https://lnkd.in/eVJ56Qcr

In Sudan, 9.5 million people are internally displaced across 18 states, making it the world’s largest internal displacement crisis. For nearly three years, Sudan’s children have been enduring - and continue to endure - a humanitarian catastrophe driven by conflict, displacement, disease and hunger. UNICEF continues to stay on the ground, delivering life-saving, essential services with partners for children and families affected - including health and nutrition, safe water, psychosocial support and education. However, the crisis remains severely under-reported and underfunded. Children in Sudan need long-lasting peace and stability NOW.

In the DR Congo, conflict has forced far too many classrooms to close. But children’s learning does not have to stop. A UNICEF-supported radio education programme is helping thousands of out-of-school children continue their studies in safe community spaces. By bringing lessons directly to them, it offers protection, stability and hope at a time when education is most at risk. “I had forgotten a lot, but little by little it’s all coming back,” says Abiga, 13, who joined the programme after her family fled the violence. “And most of all, I’ve made new friends.” For children like Abiga, learning by radio has become a lifeline, helping them keep up with lessons, regain confidence and get ready to return to school when it is safe to do so. This #EducationDay and every day, let’s remember: every child has the right to education, no matter who they are, where they live, or what challenges they face.
