In a house outside Antakya in southern Turkey, parents fleeing the violence in Syria have set up a makeshift school for their children. For children, it’s the beginning of a new normality as the carnage grinds on in their homeland. But the school’s headmaster says many of the school’s 196 children are struggling to come to terms with the violence and loss, and that more assistance is urgently needed to help them reclaim their future. The children’s psychological state is especially tenuous, after having witnessed so much violence.

Since 1970 global under-five deaths have fallen by more than 54%. Still 21,000 children die every day from preventable causes. UNICEF and partners are standing at the cusp of a new child survival revolution to leverage powerful new interventions to help every child achieve the milestone of a fifth birthday. Once children reach age five, they are far more likely to survive to adulthood. Join us to help more children achieve their fifth birthday.

Many new mothers in China find themselves battling traditional beliefs and misconceptions when it comes to their babies’ nutritional needs. For this new generation of mothers, social media and microblogs have become a valuable source of information, and UNICEF is conducting a new social media campaign to support mothers during the first months of their babies’ lives. The online campaign has attracted over a million fans, and is a popular place for mothers to connect and gather helpful information about child care, breastfeeding and nutrition.
