This week, when you think about children in Gaza, think about these three things.

1.The need for protection.
2.The need for food, clean water and healthcare.
3.The need for aid to reach children wherever they are.

Children in Gaza continue to face immense challenges, with many families struggling to access the essentials children need to survive and thrive.

Throughout this 3-year-long crisis, UNICEF has remained focused on children, delivering clean water, nutrition, healthcare, education and protection services. And we'll continue supporting children and families for as long as they need us.

Donate and help UNICEF continue reaching children with lifesaving support in Gaza.

Meet Orini, Ginny & Aaria, our youth delegates representing Aotearoa at the Pre-COP Youth Dialogue in Fiji!

Alongside young climate leaders from across the Pacific, they'll share their experiences, champion youth-led solutions, and help make sure rangatahi voices are heard ahead of COP31.

Because young people aren't just the leaders of tomorrow, they're leading today.

Go make some waves, Orini, Ginny & Aaria. 💙

Time for an office fit check ahead of Pacific 'Fits Day. Nele headed to Tav Pacific in Onehunga with Buua and Nichole to suss out the perfect fit.

Pacific 'Fits Day is the easiest excuse you'll get to wear your boldest Pasifika fit to work. Print shirt, puletasi, sei behind the ear, bring the whole vibe.

By repping your brightest Pacific-inspired fits and fundraising together, you’re helping UNICEF Aotearoa’s work with children and communities across the Pacific. Every dollar raised on 15 October works towards bringing clean water to kids in Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.

A water bottle filled and a healthier future in hand.

At Suango School in Mele, Vanuatu, a UNICEF-installed water tank, supported by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is making an everyday difference in the students' lives. Clean water means children can stay healthy, stay in school and thrive.

For more than a decade, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Pacific Area and UNICEF have partnered to support children and families worldwide. In Vanuatu, that partnership is helping deliver safe water, sanitation and hygiene to the kids who need it most.

And the impact is adding up. UNICEF's WASH programme in Vanuatu, supported by New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, has brought water systems, toilets and handwashing facilities to 85 schools, reaching more than 17,000 students with healthier, safer places to learn.

Thank you to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and MFAT for backing children in Vanuatu and helping create change that lasts.

"Community impact starts with participation, but it grows through collective action."

Roanna said it best, and honestly, that's the whole idea behind Pacific 'Fits Day, bringing people together for a cause bigger than any one organisation.

Here's the not-so-fun truth: clean water isn't guaranteed for kids in the Solomon Islands, Kiribati and Vanuatu. But here’s the best part: you can help change that by getting your workplace involved in Pacific ‘Fits Day. Rep your brightest Pasifika fit, rally the team, and fund the kind of change that actually sticks.

A $44 donation can provide safe water storage for a household, $650 can give five families reliable access to safe drinking water, and $3,500 can deliver an emergency water tank for up to 2,000 people.

Massive shoutout to the GHD Group for backing this kaupapa. 👏

When workplaces come together, change happens faster, and for a child, clean water changes everything.

To get your organisation to wear it proud and pay it forward on Thursday 15 October, head to the link below.

This was real life in the 80s, not a prompt. The decade looks different, but the need doesn't.

We've been showing up for children since before AI could imagine we might. Because every child deserves the chance to grow up safe, healthy and hopeful. 💙

New quarter, new cause to rally the team behind. Every child deserves clean water, but right now, too many across the Pacific don't have it.

💧15% of people living in the Pacific lack access to basic drinking water.
💧44% of children in Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu lack good sanitation.
💧It's one of the leading causes of preventable death for kids under five in the region, and climate change is making it worse.

Time to align the team around something worth actioning this quarter!

Introducing UNICEF Aotearoa's Pacific 'Fits Day, a fundraiser with a dress code you can get behind. On Thursday 15 October, rock your brightest Pasifika fit and help bring clean water to kids in Kiribati, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.

It’s a stakeholder-approved way to do some good with your workmates. Onboard your workplace today, link below.

Don’t dismiss this from your feed. This is your reminder that more than 8 million children in Sudan are out of school with their education being disrupted by conflict.

Yet inside this partially destroyed classroom, girls are proving that learning can survive even the harshest circumstances.

With UNICEF’s support, schools like Amina Bint Wahb Primary School are reopening and helping children reclaim what conflict tried to take away.

Every lesson matters. Every classroom reopened is a step towards the future every child deserves.

Donate via the link below and help protect a child's right to learn.

When the floodwaters receded, the trauma remained.

Children who can't sleep, caregivers who can't eat and families still waiting for news of loved ones who never came home.

"The mental state of both children and caregivers is very vulnerable at the moment. They are under so much stress and pain," says psychosocial counsellor Sushila Paneru.

Since the floods struck Nepal, more than 32,000 children have been affected and over 84,000 people need humanitarian assistance. UNICEF-supported mental health and psychosocial support services have already reached more than 1,700 people, helping them process fear, grief and loss.

Every child deserves the chance to recover, heal and have hope again.
