Floria, 12 yo, suffers from an intellectual disability. Today, she taught @mirado_off how to plant seeds in the countryside.
She's a beneficiary of the Zara Mira Program which allows her parents to build her a brighter future.

I start the summer break with some new reading: A Brief History of Equality, by @PikettyLeMonde A breath of optimism on why we should believe in human progress, and the movement towards equality. Highly recommended! #publicpolicy #equity #ForEveryChild

"The effectiveness of cash transfers is also in part a reminder that, most of the time, for most of us, individuals are pretty good judges of how to spend their own money. " @UNICEFSocPolicy

À Madagascar, près 1/2 enfant, 5-17 ans est impliqué dans le travail des enfants.
Aucun enfant ne doit abandonner son droit à l’éducation ni aucun autre de ses droits pour survivre.
Mettre en place des programmes de protection sociale solides est essentiel pour #EndChildLabour

À Ifotaka dans le Sud de Madagascar, près de 17 000 enfants de moins de 15 ans bénéficient du programme d’allocation universelle pour l’enfant et d’égalité des chances « Zara Mira » soutenu par l’UNICEF.
Lancement officiel du programme « Zara Mira » à Ifotaka le 04 juin dernier.

Social protection systems, such as the " Zara Mira" child benefits, can be vital to families when climate events occur, such as in southern Madagascar.
Parents need support to give their children the best possible start in life.
