We must work together to build an inclusive and accessible world where every child is empowered, protected and respected. #ForEveryChild, an inclusive education. #LetMeLearn

“Some women couldn’t take a whole day off and went to traditional healers instead. As a result, some children were never vaccinated and became very sick.” This was the case in Zambezia, Mozambique, until UNICEF-supported mobile health teams stepped in.👇
