For the past three days, we’ve been in Mbeya and Songwe 🇹🇿 with our 2024-25 Youth Advocates cohort for an immersive orientation and what a ride it’s been! 💥 From learning about WASH in schools and menstrual hygiene, to seeing how youth-friendly services and programs for out-of-school adolescents are transforming lives, these young leaders got a front-row seat to what advocacy looks like on the ground. They came curious, left inspired, and now, they’re ready to raise their voices #ForEveryChild. 💪🏾

Investing in maternal and newborn health isn’t an expense, it’s an investment in the future. 💙 When we prioritize the health of mothers and babies, we’re building: ✔️ Lifelong well-being 🏥 ✔️ Stronger, healthier societies 🌍 ✔️ #HopefulFutures, #ForEveryChild ✨ ✔️ Prosperity & stability for all 💡 Because a healthier start for every mother and newborn means a healthier world for us all.

From dreams to reality: UNICEF Youth Advocate Vasta's journey of resilience and empowerment. When her formal education was interrupted, Vasta discovered hope through the government-led, UNICEF Tanzania supported Integrated Programme for Out-of-School Adolescents (IPOSA). With determination and a passion for tailoring, she honed new skills, paving the way for her own tailoring business and a small kiosk that started her journey to financial independence. But Vasta’s story doesn’t stop there. Embracing her newfound skills, she became a dedicated community volunteer, established a savings group for adolescent girls, and was celebrated as one of UNICEF Tanzania’s new Youth Advocates, standing firm in the fight to end child marriage. Every girl deserves the chance to rewrite her story. ✨ Read more about Vasta’s journey: https://lnkd.in/dyGgTgzJ
