Critical medical supplies are being delivered by UNICEF to hospitals across the Gaza Strip. UNICEF's Tess Ingram outlines how these supplies will benefit children, especially newborn babies, many of whom are preterm or underweight. Children in Gaza need a ceasefire that’s sustained and respected and aid at scale so they can continue accessing the critical services they need.

Ending polio and helping children survive and thrive means making sure they have access to vaccines. That’s why every year, UNICEF procures and delivers 1 billion doses of polio vaccines around the world, to protect children from the disease. Amid global funding cuts, investments in polio campaigns and routine immunization are needed more than ever to ensure every child’s right to health. #WorldPolioDay
What future are we building for our children? Despite steady economic growth in the Philippines, many children still lack the nutrition they need in the most critical years of growth and development. 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘢𝘳, a new study by UNICEF and the Philippine Institute For Development Studies, explains why stunting remains high in the Philippines and what can change it—better local planning, access to diverse diets and safe water, stronger health and social protection systems, and support for families in the first 1,000 days. 📘Download now: https://lnkd.in/d4YAKUt9 #ForEveryChild #NutritionMatters

Happy #UNDay! Honored to represent UNICEF Philippines as we celebrate 80 years of the UN and its long-standing partnership with the #Philippines. From being one of the original signatories of the UN Charter in 1945 to its continued leadership in peacekeeping, human rights, and international law, the Philippines has consistently championed what committed multilateralism looks like. Department of Foreign Affairs Sec. Lazaro’s words captured it best, “The international community can count on the Philippines to be a steadfast vanguard of the UN Charter.” That commitment is alive and well through the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2024–2028. We’re working closely with government, civil society, and the private sector to help build a more inclusive, resilient, and peaceful future for all. This partnership is not just history, it’s a living commitment. As Arnaud Peral, UN Resident Coordinator in the Philippines, said, “The UN is not an institution apart from us. It is a reflection of who we are and what we choose to stand for.” That really resonated with me. The challenges ahead such as climate change, inequality, and disinformation demand renewed courage and cooperation. Looking forward to building the next chapter with the UN Philippines team #ForEveryChild!
In the face of unimaginable loss, Rosemie found strength with the help of her community.

This is major milestone for our continuing work with DepEd BAE on strengthening ALS. Congratulations to all of us who worked in the back end (UNICEF Educ, UniMelb & ACTRC research team, BAE team, and ALS implementers)! We started this innovation at the height of the pandemic and toiled through years of online discussions, field-level trials, volumes of reports and assessment instruments, and admin changes. The collaborative spirit pulled us through, primarily because we believe in the initiative's potential and...because we love ALS. There's still a lot of work to be done - I hope I'd be able to continue supporting BAE in this journey.
It was a day celebrating the beauty of second chances as we joined DepEd Philippines in the awarding of the first Alternative Learning System (ALS) Life Skills Micro-certificates in Tondo, Manila. This milestone reflects DepEd’s commitment to innovation and inclusion, reaching out-of-school youth and adult learners aged 16 to 60 with flexible, community-based learning. The Life Skills Micro-certification is more than a piece of paper. It is a powerful tool that validates essential skills like communication, teamwork and cooperation, leadership, and problem-solving. It opens doors to employment, further training, and personal growth. Since 2020, UNICEF Philippines has supported the development of this innovation in partnership with the Department of Education, the The University of Melbourne‘s Faculty of Education - Melbourne Metrics, and the University of the Philippines’ Assessment Curriculum and Technology Research Centre (ACTRC) . Together, we’ve co-developed and field-tested assessment tools, built capacity, and supported implementation across eight school divisions nationwide. This year alone, 2,854 ALS learners are receiving their micro-certificates. We are proud to stand with DepEd and partners like Nokia and the UNICEF Finland in linking education to opportunity, helping learners thrive as workers, citizens, and individuals. To all the learners who received their certificates, congratulations! As you begin your journey, we at UNICEF are cheering you on every step of the way! #ForEveryChild, second chances.
