Access to quality education is key to helping children thrive. Through the Early Grade Reading Program (EGRP) in South Africa, UNICEF is making that possible. EGRP provides teachers with the training, resources and support they need to improve reading outcomes for young learners. By focusing on teacher development and parental engagement, UNICEF is helping to ensure every child has the chance to succeed — and teachers in the program are already seeing positive changes. #ForEveryChild, the joy of learning.

President & CEO of UNICEF USA, Relentlessly Pursuing a More Equitable World For Every Child | Child Rights Activist | Thought Leader
At this year’s Aspen Ideas Health Festival, UNICEF Ambassador Aria Mia Loberti made a bold statement: UNICEF and other humanitarian organizations aren't going to solve all the world’s problems. Given my role at UNICEF USA, you might expect me to argue this, but here’s the thing—she’s absolutely right. To address the needs of children today, we need change at multiple levels—societal, yes, of course—and also at the system and personal levels. Let’s talk about it.

Thoughts and prayers won’t protect our children. Our leaders must act — now. Today’s school shooting in Georgia marks more than 385 mass shootings in the U.S. this year. We call on U.S. leaders to protect young people in their schools and everywhere. Their lives depend upon it. For those who are talking with children in your life about today’s tragedy at Apalachee High School, here are resources for supporting them throughout the conversation.
