With thanks to the generous support from Rotary International, these 600 women are closing the gap on zero-dose children in Afghanistan, and improving health-seeking behaviours among women.
Ever wondered how much work happens behind the scenes to get life-saving vaccines to children?
Take a trip with Rihanna, a vaccinator from Jawzjan province.

Vaccines are one of humanity’s greatest achievements and have saved nearly 154 million people in the last 50 years.
In South Asia, continued investments in vaccines can ensure that the next generation of children are protected from life-threatening diseases.

A pleasure to welcome members from the World Bank Executive Board to @Unicef this week.
We had an excellent discussion on our partnership for children, and how we can strengthen our collaboration to accelerate progress on the #GlobalGoals #ForEveryChild .
👏Thanks to our partnership with EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺🇪🇺, we are able to bolster the resilience and expertise of local health workers in addressing children's needs in healthy #nutrition in #Afghanistan . #UNICEFThanks

I met Fatima, a 9 years old, in a CFS in Nuristan, a province that was neglected for over 20 yrs. She gave an account of the robust changes brought by UNICEF Afghanistan in their communities in the last 2 years. Many thanks to ECHO, WB, and other partners for supporting the change effort
Health workers like Safiullah from Nangarhar province travel long distances every day to #vaccinate children. They show us that it is #HumanlyPossible to build a future where every child not only survives but thrives. #WorldImmunizationWeek
Baby Mahsa is proof that #GoodHealth = #HappyBabies .
UNICEF Afghanistan partnership with Asian Development Bank & World Bank South Asia allows us to support over 2,500 health facilities with supplies and training to give children the care they need to grow and thrive.
#ForEveryChild , health.
Kicked off the Strategic Dialogue with Bundesentwicklungsministerium today.
As 1.9 million children risk falling behind the #SDGs , we reiterated our commitment for multilateralism & protection of child rights.
Together we will help strengthen climate resilience & social protection #ForEveryChild
It was a pleasure to meet with HE Ambassador Georg Steiner of Embassy of Switzerland in Pakistan last week to further our partnership in Water, Hygiene & Sanitation #WASH , & #Education #ForEveryChild Afghanistan.

Sometimes it’s just a small room in a hospital, village, or border post, but the joy on the faces of children at #ChildFriendlySpaces is heartwarming. UNICEF Afghanistan & partners set up over 750 such spaces where children play, learn & access psychosocial support & other services.
Did you know on average, a $1 investment in national data systems yields a return of $32?
When data & stats inform policies & programmes, we accelerate SDG progress.
Great seeing Diene Keita at #SpringMeetings side event on “The Power of Data – Unlocking the Data Dividend.”
Distressing reports on the impact of floods across the country. My thoughts & prayers are with the people affected, especially those who have lost loved ones.
UNICEF Afghanistan & partners are on the ground, ready to provide psycho-social support, first aid, fresh water & hygiene kits.
Devastating floods have reportedly killed 32 people and injured 44 across Afghanistan, including children. 1,200 families have lost their homes.
UNICEF Afghanistan is on the ground to provide emergency assistance to the families affected, including fresh water, first aid & hygiene kits.
Inspired by health workers like Fatima who visits every home in her village, checking children for #malnutrition & referring them for treatment. With your support Embassy of Japan in Afghanistan EU Humanitarian Aid | Asia-Pacific, UNICEF delivers supplies to help Fatima & other health workers screen and treat #children .
