In 2026, we reaffirm that children should not be mothers, rejecting teenage motherhood in Zimbabwe. We continue to support safe spaces & advocate against obstetric violence, child sexual abuse and GBV.

Healthcare is a basic right.
Not a privilege. Not a luxury.
This World Health Day, we stand for access, protection, and care for all.

Midwives are the backbone of maternal and newborn health in Zimbabwe. π
Every day, they provide skilled, compassionate and lifesaving care to women and babies, often in the most challenging conditions. @UNFPA_Zimbabwe proudly supports midwives through training, equipment and advocacy to strengthen safe, respectful maternity care under the #HealthResilienceFund programme funded by @IrlEmbPretoria @euinzim @UKinZimbabwe @gavi
We thank our midwives for their continued dedication to saving lives and protecting futures. πΈ

Investing in nutrition means investing in the future.
Every $1 invested in addressing undernutrition yields a $23 return.
The cost of inaction? A staggering $41T over 10 years. Let's #InvestInNutrition!
@WorldBank report highlights the need for $13B/year in financing to improve global nutrition: wrld.bg/fbWh50TJLC4
This past week, we distributed food, clothes, blankets & more to teen mothersβthanks to YOUR donations. π
But the need is still great. It's cold, and many young moms & babies still donβt have warm clothes or food.
Please help. π§΅

Today, we celebrate the Day of the African Child!
This year's theme, "Planning & Budgeting for Children's Rights: Progress since 2010", reminds us of the importance of prioritising children's rights in our planning and budgeting processes.
Consider donating an #aponabirthkit
Our birthkits have all the surgical and non-surgical components needed for a safe delivery and items for the new baby.
We also give a baby dish and during winter, we are adding a blanket.
Donate $50 for a birthkit
Help us save lives

26% of women aged 15 and over have experienced violence from an intimate partner.
Most violence against women is perpetrated by a current or former husband or intimate partner.
