Children do not live in an isolated vacuum - they are an integral part of families and communities, and we believe that all children should grow up with access to basic healthcare, sanitation, nutrition, sanitation, education and a safe environment which is free from violence.
Changing lives requires a sustained and targeted response. For our UNICEF South Africa team, donors and partners, this involves 6 key areas as we look forward in 2021 with the goal of making sure that the impact of COVID-19 does not become a lasting crisis for our children.
Resolve #1 - To ensure that children are healthy & well-nourished: In 2020, this was the focus of our #EveryChildAlive and #Move4Change campaign. Looking forward in 2021, this will mean facilitating continued access to key child health and nutrition services – including routine immunisation, fighting against the spread of misinformation and equal and affordable access to COVID-19 diagnostics and vaccines.
Resolve #2 - To reach vulnerable children with safe water & improve hand hygiene: In 2020, our #LittleHandsMatter campaign set out to address the lack of running water in under-resourced communities and schools, and it grew to challenging and empowering our young people with the #TippyTap Challenge; to design a cheap, creative and easy-to-build DIY hand washing solution in their community.
