Vaccines remain one of the most powerful tools we have to protect children’s lives. #NoChild should suffer from diseases we know how to prevent.
We have the vaccines. We know they work.
Parents & caregivers: check your child’s immunization status & visit the nearest outreach.

“I listened to boda stories all the way home…up until vaccines became the topic.” 😅
Let’s be clear: vaccines are safe, effective, and they save children’s lives.
Don’t follow misinformation. Choose immunization.

@GovUganda, led by @MinofHealthUG, today launches a nutrition advocacy campaign under the theme “#Nutrition4All”, a national effort to improve child nutrition.
@UNICEFUganda is proud to support this initiative—because every child has the right to a healthy start in life.

With over two million children under five chronically malnourished in Uganda 🇺🇬 (UDHS 2022), the need for sustained action has never been greater.
Every child deserves the chance to grow and thrive.

Teenage pregnancy continues to disrupt girls’ education in Uganda.
We must do more to ensure every girl can stay in school, return after childbirth, and reach her full potential.
Every girl deserves that chance.

Deeply saddened by the tragic attacks on children in Kampala and Apac District. My heart goes out to the families who have lost their children & those whose children are recovering.
Schools must be safe spaces. We must act now to protect every child.
