For every child,a champion
At UNICEF Chad, we have made important progress on nutrition, health, and WASH access. We are also working on improving the quality of education and health facilities. We are shaping our programs to respond to humanitarian and emergency situations, and working with partners to tackle all these issues more effectively. There is still much to be done, as around 47 percent of the population lives below the poverty line and there is a very high infant and child mortality rate, with high regional disparities. Join our team and help us make sure every child has a champion.
