La mission de l’UNICEF est d’agir dans 7 domaines essentiels au bon développement de l’enfant : la santé, le VIH–SIDA, l’eau/l’assainissement et l’hygiène, la nutrition, la protection, l’éducation et l’inclusion sociale.

L’objectif est de permettre à chaque enfant de commencer sa vie avec un maximum de chances pour se développer et s’épanouir.

Zoom John, 9, lives in Whitesands, an area of Tanna (Vanuatu) at the base of the Mount Yasur volcano. In John’s own words, “This is my home. During the time when the volcano is throwing out ash, it really spoils everything. Then when it is cyclone season the winds hit us. During the dry session the sun burns us. I can’t go anywhere… I stay here because this is my place so I just stay here.” In this photo, John stands in a field in his village. November 2015: Vanuatu, a Y-shaped archipelago in the South Pacific, is made up of 83 islands. Tanna in the south is one of Vanuatu’s most densely populated islands and one of its most vulnerable, regularly at the mercy of cyclones, drought, and an active volcano, Mount Yasur. In March 2015, Tanna suffered widespread damage when Category 5 Cyclone Pam ripped through Vanuatu. Only a few months later and the country is suffering again due to the impacts of El Niño induced drought. El Niño is a warming of the central to eastern tropical Pacific Ocean that occurs, on average, every two to seven years. El Niño impacts weather systems around the globe so that some places receive more rain while others receive none at all. Climate change is further exacerbating these impacts, potentially causing such extremes to become the norm. The people of Vanuatu are resilient by necessity but, without time for full recovery between Cyclone Pam and El Niño, water shortages and food shortages linked to failed crops are presenting growing problems. UNICEF is supporting children, families and governments as they respond to El Niño. In partnership with NGOs, UNICEF is training and supporting grassroots health workers to identify and treat children that are showing signs of malnutrition and diarrhoea. UNICEF is supporting schools to stay open and provide food and water for their students through these challenging times. Our water, sanitation and hygiene teams are working to prevent the spread of disease and get water to communities

Zoom A young boy jumps over a puddle of chemical waste outside his home that has been turned into a large dumpsite by waste from leather industries in Hazaribagh area near Buriganga river in Dhaka. Most industries based in urban area in Bangladesh pollute environment but leather tanneries probably do the worst damage. Hazaribagh, Dhaka?s leather processing zone, is right in the middle of one of the most densely populated residential area. About 194 leather processing industries operate here and freely dump untreated toxic wastes directly to the low-lying areas, river and natural canals. The pollution is seriously affecting the livelihood thousands of people, bringing it to brink of an environmental disaster

Zoom On 29 February 2016, children play in the library of a school damaged by Cyclone Winston at the Nabau District School, Ra Province, Fiji. Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Winston made landfall in Fiji on Saturday 20 February, continuing its path of destruction into Sunday 21 February. A state of natural disaster and a nationwide curfew had been declared by the Government of Fiji earlier in the evening. In the wake of Cyclone Winston, UNICEF’s main concern is for children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers across Fiji. Little is yet known about the status of communities living on the outer islands of Fiji that were directly under the eye of Tropical Cyclone Winston- as communications remain down for many. The Fijian Government is rapidly working to assess the overall situation in order to pinpoint the critical needs. The Fijian Government has declared a state of natural disaster for the next 30 days and has initiated the clean-up process by clearing the huge amounts of debris scattered everywhere. UNICEF staff members are standing by to assist as required.

Zoom On 28 June 2016, Alinafe, 30, stands with her youngest daughter, Desire, 2, stand in their dry and barren field due to the drought, in Balaka district in Malawi. Alinafe, is a single mother with two daughters, Desire, 2, and Janet, 10, and two sons, Kelvin, 8, and Innocent, 6. Alinafe lives with her children in a shelter they have made from the husks of the maize plant in the Balaka District in Malawi, after their mud brick house they lived in was destroyed by bad weather. Her only field that had yielded some small harvest last year is now barren, dry and useless. The family’s daily meal is just a handful of dried peas called ‘Nandolo’ which translates as ‘Pigeon Peas’ in English. The continuing drought in Malawi has made their situation desperate. Two-year-old Desire’s diet is supplemented with Plumpy Nut, ready-to-use therapeutic food such as Plumpy Nut supplied to the Balaka district hospital by UNICEF. The 2015-2016 El Niño’s devastating impact on children is worsening, as hunger, malnutrition and disease continue to increase following the severe droughts and floods spawned by the event, one of the strongest on record. There is a strong chance La Niña – El Niño’s flip side – could strike at some stage this year, further exacerbating a severe humanitarian crisis that is affecting millions of children in some of the most vulnerable communities, UNICEF said in a report called It’s not over – El Niño’s impact on children. Children in the worst affected areas are going hungry. In Eastern and Southern Africa – the worst hit regions – some 26.5 million children need support, including more than one million who need treatment for severe acute malnutrition. In many countries, already strained resources, have reached their limits, and affected families have exhausted their coping mechanisms – such as selling off assets and skipping meals. Unless more aid is forthcoming, including urgent nutritional support for young children, de
