Protect our future.
Integrating polio-supported staff, laboratories and surveillance into Namibia’s health system can preserve expertise and strengthen responses to other health threats.

The @UN isn't only about milestones, reports & targets, but about people, stories, & the enduring values of peace, dignity & solidarity.
As we mark 81 years since its founding, we're reminded of the millions of women, children & men who make up its living legacy.

Protect our gains. Protect Namibia’s children.
Check your child’s health passport and ask your nearest health facility about missed vaccinations. Every child reached brings us closer to ending polio.

One of my greatest priorities as @UN Secretary-General has been fighting the triple planetary crisis of biodiversity loss, pollution & climate change, because I have children & grandchildren that are counting on world leaders to be leaders for nature.
Let’s act with urgency for our children, for our future & for all life on Earth.

Schools need reliable access to safe water and adequate sanitation to provide an environment where children can focus on learning and participate fully in school life.
These are essential parts of a school environment where children can learn with dignity.
