“It was dawn. I was asleep and woke up when I heard the noise of a gunfire. We immediately run out of the house. I remember being taken to a forest. We were afraid and scared. We were running fast but they caught me. Heard that my father was killed that day- didn’t know about it until my return. The Abductors are always talking to us but we don’t understand anything. I think they were trying to teach us their language. I only met one friend from my neighborhood but the rest of the children were strangers. I am so happy to be back to my family. When I grow up I only want to do good things to human beings by becoming a teacher or a doctor. I will never forget this incidence. It was such unexpected return- I was thinking they will lock us there forever. Me and my mother cried for a long time with happiness. Now that my mother is with me, I am not scared anymore. I miss my siblings so I want to go back to my village soon.”© UNICEF Ethiopia/2016/Meklit Mersha
Run out of the house when she heard a gunfire. “When I heard the shooting in my direction, I stopped running afraid that they will shoot me- I was easily taken. They hold only the little ones but we had to walk really far with them and we were taken to a forest. There was no food and I used to feel hungry- only milk was provided. They put us separated- I was alone. I always wanted to escape but they are always following us even when we go to the loo. I can’t even express how I felt when I saw my mother- it was a special. In the future, I want to be a teacher. My favorite subjects are English and Maths. Am still scared. I hear that this happens repeatedly, tomorrow others will be taken…” © UNICEF Ethiopia/2016/MMeklit Mersha

“I remember they came with guns and took us to the forest. I was with my friend who still hasn’t returned. At first, we heard a gunfire, we were playing when caught. My mother escaped with another son on foot- they took them very far. Both the rebels and the children were many.
When I was taken, I felt that I have died already- I had very little hope in me left. I am deeply thinking about those who haven’t returned- a friends of mine Bath who is my playmate hasn’t returned. I want to continue my education. Now that I am with my parents, I feel safe.” © UNICEF Ethiopia/2016/Meklit Mersha

Ukraine last year had one of the lowest routine immunization coverage rates in the world. As of December 2016, according to data from Ukraine’s Ministry of Health, only 45.5% of children in Ukraine were fully immunized against measles, only 29%, against hepatitis B, and only 23% of against diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus. About 60% of children under one-year are fully immunized against polio. A number of factors have contributed to the decline in vaccination coverage in Ukraine over the past years, including distrust by the public and media of vaccines and immunization services. Additionally, a shortage of vaccine supplies compounded critically low immunization rates. To address this, at the request of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, UNICEF procured a number of high quality certified vaccines to protect children against dangerous vaccine-preventable diseases.

Sarah Nyauony Deng, 55, is a senior caregiver at the temporary residence- a two story building guest house of the Gambella Regional State. She is one of the five caregivers assigned by the Bureau of Women and Children’s Affairs. She used to work as an elder in an Anglican Church.
“It has been rewarding to take care of these children especially those who have lost their mothers. Most of the children have injuries on their legs from the long walks when they come here. When they come, most of them are so silent and they isolate themselves. After sometime, they start to socialize with others, play together and become cheerful. I see the children as my own and will do anything to protect them. There is a child that cries for his mom everyday- I know she’s not coming back- he doesn’t. I am the only one he has now. The government will decide the faith of the orphaned children.” © UNICEF Ethiopia/2016/Meklit Mersha

AFGHANISTAN: Girls help each other wash hands, using water they have collected from a nearby stream, on the steps of the UNICEF-provided latrine at Bam Sarai School in the village of Bam Sarai in the central Bamyan Province. Some 650 girls and boys, many of the ethnic Hazara minority, attend classes at the school. There is no need for a water point at this facility, since the glacier-fed stream provides fresh water for drinking and washing. UNICEF also supports the school with teacher training, textbooks and other supplies. [#5 IN SEQUENCE OF SIX].
In June 2007 in Afghanistan, chronic insecurity and renewed violence, especially in rural areas, continue to impede recovery from decades of war, and limit progress for all the country’s 25 million people – particularly its children and women. The nation’s social indicators rank at or near the bottom among developing countries: average life expectancy is below 45 years; 40 to 60 percent of Afghan children are stunted or chronically malnourished; and the maternal mortality rate, at 1,600 per 100,000 live births, is one of the highest in the world. At least 50 women die every day from pregnancy-related complications and fewer than 2 per cent of women have ever attended a hospital or clinic. Despite the considerable success of the 2003 UNICEF-assisted back-to-school campaign, the enrolment of girls in rural areas is barely 30 per cent; the literacy rate for young women (aged 15-24) is only 18 per cent (versus 50 per cent for boys); while girls’ primary school completion rate is only 13 per cent (versus 32 per cent for boys). Factors preventing girls from attending school include accessibility and security, the need to work, poverty and child marriage, the latter accounting for 43 per cent of all marriages. The destruction or closure of schools for security reasons in several southern provinces further restricts girls’ access to an education. Additionally, 20 to 30 per cent of children must work to help support their families. Despite these challenges, the Government and its partners have put more than 4 million girls and boys back in school since 2005; some 64 per cent of children are fully immunized against the five major immuno-preventable childhood diseases; and Afghanistan – one of only four remaining polio endemic countries in the world – is on the verge of stopping wild poliovirus transmission within its territory. In other areas, UNICEF works to improve maternal health services; reduce under-five mortality; expand quality education, especially for girls and women; and ensure food security and equitable access to nutrition services.
