Benita, 11, from Ghana reminds us that every child has the right to education. When that right is fulfilled, it opens the door to other rights such as the right to play, to build friendships, to learn from one another and to belong. Friendship can nurture happiness, well-being and self-confidence, shaping a brighter world #ForEveryChild. Mention a friend who makes you feel supported and seen. 🩵 #WorldChildrensDay

Families of children like Abdullah and Masa are doing everything possible to protect them from dire sanitary conditions in Gaza. UNICEF is trying to reach as many people as possible with clean water – up to 1.5 million a month – but there are significant obstacles. Access to water and health care should not be conditional for any child, anywhere.
