We know that for children recovering from conflict and disaster, getting back to school is as vital as any lifesaving emergency response.
Here's a look at how UNICEF is working to help out-of-school children in #Ethiopia return to the classroom, recover lost learning and reach their full potential:

In and out of emergencies, UNICEF supports children's #MentalHealth — through child-friendly spaces, psychological first aid, caregiver support and more. #WorldMentalHealthDay
After 3 years without regular in-person learning, more children in #Gaza are returning to class.
This isn't what education should look like: nearly 98% of Gaza's school buildings have been damaged or destroyed. But it's a moment of hope: https://www.unicefusa.org/gaza-edu-bsky #WorldMentalHealthDay
News of sudden disasters like hurricanes and the damage they cause can be upsetting for kids, even those far from a storm’s path. Here are a few tips on helping children feel safe and protected:

"For children, El Niño is far more than a weather pattern," says Executive Director Catherine Russell. "It can mean increased displacement, malnutrition, water shortages, and disease outbreaks."
A look at UNICEF's latest report, via @thehill.com:
#MentalHealth shapes every part of a child's development — yet, it remains one of the most underfunded areas of global development.
Ahead of #WorldMentalHealthDay, see how UNICEF reaches tens of millions of children in crisis settings with mental health and psychosocial support services each year:
Mariam, 14, had to drop out of school when she fled violence in South Kordofan, Sudan. But at a displacement camp, a UNICEF-supported learning centre is helping her catch up on her lessons as she dreams of becoming a doctor. For children’s dreams to come true, peace must become a reality in Sudan.
A cold box, two drops, and a knock from a team determined to reach every child.

Ongoing conflict has disrupted the lives of millions of children across #Sudan, but students like Mariam, 14, are determined to pursue their education.
Today, Mariam attends a UNICEF-supported learning program. At night, she does her homework by the light of a solar-powered lantern.
Her story:
76 years ago, teacher Mary Emma Allison and minister Clyde Allison wondered how they could make a difference through trick-or-treating.
That Halloween, kids in their Philadelphia neighborhood collected 🪙s alongside 🍬 — raising $17 for UNICEF.
It was the start of a national #ToT4UNICEF tradition:
At 11, Sediqa needs the right nutrients to grow and stay healthy. Nutrition counsellor Arezo gives her iron and folic acid supplements to help protect her from iron deficiency and anaemia.
