Manahil, a mother in #Sudan, cuddles her 6-month-old son, Baraa. Little Baraa is enrolled in a UNICEF-supported nutrition program and is currently recovering from a case of severe acute malnutrition.

"My dream is to see Baraa growing up healthy and becoming a doctor or teacher in the future,” says Manahil. 💙

This is Fatima, a mother living with her children in a camp for displaced people in North Darfur, #Sudan. Fatima and her family were forced to leave their home due to ongoing war and violence.

Have you heard about the Concert for Bangladesh? In 1971, musicians Ravi Shankar and George Harrison organized a concert to raise funding and awareness for the humanitarian crisis in Bangladesh and UNICEF's relief efforts amid suffering from floods, famine and civil war. It was the first major benefit concert of its kind — setting the precedent that music 🎵 could be used to create positive impact at scale. Now, over 50 years later, children in Bangladesh face similar risks from ongoing violence and unrest. But UNICEF's presence remains — ensuring every child is healthy and protected — and The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF continues the concert's legacy by providing support for critical UNICEF programs not only in Bangladesh, but anywhere children are in need. Learn more about the Concert for Bangladesh and its lasting impact. 💙
