About
As South Sudan marks the Day of the African Child, young voices are calling for greater investment in clean water, sanitation and hygiene in schools. UNICEF Young Reporters Nene Atif and Richard Robert share how inadequate water and sanitation affect children's health, confidence and education, particularly for girls during menstruation. They also highlight practical solutions already making a difference and urge leaders to ensure every child can learn in a safe, healthy and dignified school environment.
