In this episode, we speak with Master of Public Health students Bethel Abraham and Sona Fall about their study abroad course in Tanzania, which focused on low-cost strategies for waterborne diseases and waste management. We explore their journeys from pre-med backgrounds to public health—Sona's pivot occurred after realizing she could impact lives outside a clinic, while Bethel moved toward systemic change after witnessing the political and healthcare systems affecting children in emergency units. They share how their work with the Applied Global Public Health Initiative (AGPHI) led them to Dar es Salaam. Bethel and Sona detail their work alongside UNICEF and the Ministry of Health, describing an environment where health officials took time off their jobs to learn as equals with students. They discuss the "unlearning" required after their initial focus on malaria and cholera shifted; upon arriving at the Azimio Ward, they found their bus blocked by a massive puddle of standstill water and realized residents prioritized waste management over disease data. By using systems mapping to visualize community outcomes, they pivoted their interventions to address the lack of infrastructure. This episode is a lesson in grounding strategy in empathy and recognizing community members as the experts.

Donald Trump no cede en sus pretensiones sobre Groenlandia. Su obsesión por hacerse con la isla semiautónoma danesa le está enfrentando frontalmente con los países de la UE, dispuestos a no dejarse intimidad por las amenazas del mandatario estadounidense. A su anuncio de que impondrá aranceles a los que han enviado militares a Groenlandia el bloque comunitario, en su gran mayoría, parece ya dispuesto a responder con duras medias también en el ámbito comercial.Donald Trump también se ha fijado en las Islas Chagos, que tras estar décadas bajo control del Reino Unido están en proceso de ser devueltas a las Mauricio. Hablaremos de ello. Estaremos en Siria porque aunque la situación es mejor tras la caída del régimen de Bachar Al Assad, la integración política de las diferentes etnias y grupos religiosos está siendo complicada. Lo vamos a contar y va a estar con nosotros la representante de UNICEF en Siria. Y les hablaremos también de la Agencia de la ONU para los Refugiados Palestinos, la UNRWA. El gobierno de Israel la acusa de estar aliada con Hamas y hoy ha comenzado a demoler una de sus sedes en Jerusalén.Escuchar audio

Mientras se espera la segunda fase del plan de paz en Gaza, impulsado por el mandatario estadounidense Donald Trump, la situación humanitaria en el enclave sigue siendo catastrófica, alertan las ONG´s.  Hay escasez de comida, enfermedades y muertes ligadas a ataques y al invierno, además de la preocupación por la posible partida de 37 organizaciones humanitarias. En octubre pasado inició la tregua en Gaza, pero una verdadera paz aún se ve lejana y las necesidades de la población de alimentos, vivienda digna o atención médica no dan espera, confirman diferentes organizaciones como Médicos Sin Fronteras (MSF) y Oxfam. Esta semana Unicef informó que, desde el inicio de la tregua, al menos 100 niños han muerto en ataques aéreos y actos de violencia en la Franja y el New York Times publicó que también en este periodo Israel ha demolido más de 2.500 edificios en el enclave, complicando aún más el acceso a una vivienda digna para la población, pues muchos se encuentran bajo tiendas de campaña. Las muertes en Gaza continúan y a ello se suman los fallecimientos por hipotermia o enfermedades ligadas a un invierno bajo condiciones catastróficas, cuenta Claire Nicolet, Coordinadora de urgencias de Médicos Sin Fronteras en Gaza. “Todos los días, sigue habiendo muertos en Gaza, ya sea porque la gente se acerca a la zona controlada por el ejército israelí o por los ataques que siguen produciéndose en zonas que normalmente deberían ser seguras. Lamentablemente, siguen produciéndose ataques a ese nivel”, agregó Nicolet. El invierno y las malas condiciones de vivienda también han generado fallecimientos. “Hemos tenido casos de hipotermia entre los niños y también hemos tenido esos famosos edificios que se derrumban sobre la gente. Así que digamos que, aún hoy, seguimos viendo muertes relacionadas con toda esta situación que vemos en Gaza. Por desgracia, todos los días seguimos oyendo bombardeos, demoliciones de edificios y aún no hemos llegado a algo que se pueda llamar realmente paz”, señaló. El trabajo de las ONG's no es suficiente para cubrir las necesidades del enclave, cuenta la trabajadora humanitaria y esto podría agravarse con la decisión de Israel de prohibir el acceso a 37 ONG. El Estado hebreo argumenta que es una respuesta por no comunicar los nombres de sus empleados, pero las organizaciones temen por la seguridad de sus miembros. Por su parte, la comunidad internacional se muestra preocupada por una escalada de la crisis humanitaria que ya es catastrófica, pues explican que sería muy difícil crear rápidamente una alternativa que pueda cubrir el trabajo que ya se está haciendo y que es precario. “Hoy en día, como Médicos Sin Fronteras, contamos con más de 20 centros de salud a los que prestamos apoyo y 5 hospitales. En la actualidad, no hay nadie capaz de sustituirnos con un volumen de trabajo tan grande. Contamos con más de 1.000 empleados nacionales, por lo que el volumen de actividad es enorme. También somos el segundo distribuidor de agua en la Franja de Gaza. Si hoy tuviéramos que dejar de trabajar, no habría ninguna solución alternativa”, aseguró. Además de la presencia física, están las especialidades que aporta cada organización. “En el caso de MSF, somos especialistas en determinadas patologías o enfermedades, como por ejemplo las quemaduras. No habría ninguna solución alternativa, porque no habría ninguna organización que pueda venir de repente a sustituir el volumen de actividad que estamos realizando como Médicos Sin Fronteras”, agregó Nicolet. Varios países entre los que se encuentran los de la Unión Europea, que enviaron una declaración conjunta, insisten a Israel en dar marcha atrás en su decisión de sacar a estas 37 organizaciones, pero de momento la presión no parece dar resultados.

Benjamin Perks, UNICEF's Head of Advocacy for Child Development and Protection, joins Alberto Lidji on the Do One Better Podcast to make the case that the single most powerful investment a society can make is in the relationship between children and their caregivers. Drawing on more than three decades of neuroscience, public health, and social science, Perks explains why secure caregiver child attachment is not only the foundation of healthy childhoods but also one of the strongest predictors of lifelong wellbeing, economic productivity, and social stability. When those relationships break down, the costs ripple outward into education systems, health services, labor markets, and criminal justice systems. When they are strengthened, the benefits compound across generations. At the center of the conversation is the Global Caregiver Forum, an inaugural intergovernmental gathering convened by UNICEF and the World Health Organization with the Government of Spain. Ministers from roughly 25 countries, alongside leading scientists and practitioners, are coming together to accelerate the global scale up of evidence based parenting and caregiver support programs. Perks describes why these programs represent a breakthrough in public policy. A 2022 WHO led systematic review of more than 435 randomized controlled trials shows that evidence based parenting programs consistently increase nurturing care, reduce violence and maltreatment, improve children's developmental outcomes, and significantly improve parental mental health. In other words, they deliver on child protection, early learning, and adult wellbeing at the same time. The discussion moves from science to systems. Today, only about one quarter of countries report having widely available parenting programs, even though the interventions are relatively low cost and highly scalable. Perks explains how UNICEF and partners are working to build the global architecture needed to change that, including common frameworks, measurement tools, and coverage indicators similar to those used for vaccines and other public health interventions. A critical theme is the return on investment. While the largest gains of early childhood support appear over decades, Perks points to growing evidence that parenting programs also generate benefits within political and budget cycles. These include reductions in low birth weight, fewer child placements in institutional care, better parental mental health, and lower productivity losses, all of which translate into tangible fiscal savings for governments. Listeners also hear what modern caregiver support actually looks like. All families have access to support, with additional intensity for those facing higher risks due to poverty, trauma, or mental health challenges. Delivery channels range from home visiting and health systems to community hubs and digital tools, all adapted to local culture and context. Beyond the forum, Perks reflects on a broader shift underway in global child policy. Too often, governments are presented with long lists of disconnected reforms. He argues that real progress requires focusing on a small number of interventions that are scientifically proven, politically feasible, and capable of driving multiple outcomes at once. Parenting programs and universal access to quality early childhood education sit at the top of that list. The conversation also touches on the newly established International Day of Play, a United Nations observance led by UNICEF and UNESCO. Perks explains why play is not a luxury but a biological and social necessity that underpins learning, creativity, resilience, and human connection across the life course. The episode closes with a powerful reminder. In a world marked by polarization and instability, the science of child development offers something rare: a practical, evidence based pathway to improve human wellbeing at scale. By investing in caregiving, attachment, and play, societies have an unprecedented opportunity to prevent trauma, and give every child the chance to grow up safe, loved, and nurtured.

A new report out from UNICEF has revealed some devastating figures on the prevalence of sexual violence against children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Nationwide data indicates that more than 35,000 cases of sexual violence against children were recorded from January to September of 2025. It is understood that the true number is likely to be higher than these figures, with the crime being underreported due to fear and stigma. Kylie Pentelow is joined by UNICEF's Chief of Child Protection, Ramatou Touré, to discuss the report. Maintaining friendships in adulthood can feel like a full-time job, especially when calendars clash, energy runs low, and “let's catch up soon” becomes a recurring loop. We revisit The Woman's Hour Guide to Life episode on friendships to explore why staying connected is so challenging in a busy life. Nuala McGovern speaks to journalist Claire Cohen, psychotherapist Dr Julia Samuel, and the psychologist Dr Marisa G Franco, who share expert insights, relatable stories, and advice you'll genuinely want to put into practice.Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, or RED-S as it's known, was once framed as a concern only for elite athletes. But as running culture intensifies alongside weight-loss jabs and healthy eating trends, RED-S has become more widespread. It's often hard to spot, but the long-term consequences can be devastating, impacting immune function, growth and fertility. Sports dietitian Renee McGregor and Jodie Pearlman, who experienced the condition first hand, tell Kylie more about the condition.It's peak time for university applications at the moment, with the deadline looming in mid January. UCAS' data for 2025, shows that 31% of 18 year olds in the UK are planning to live at home this year, which is a record high compared to 22% a decade ago. So if almost a third are staying at home, what is student life like today and how does it compare to the student experience of the past? Discussing this with Kylie are Sakithya Nathan, a first year student at Birkbeck University in London, Daisy Depledge-Kittle, a third year student at Leeds Trinity University, and Dr Aimee Quickfall, Head of the School of Education and Childhood at Leeds Trinity University.

"Measure Of A Man" The North Carolina-born Clay Aiken rose to fame on the strength of his record breaking appearance on American Idol, but if you just think of him in terms of that show, you're not getting the full picture. At all. With seven albums under his belt, the golden-voiced Aiken has sold close to ten million albums worldwide, was the first artist whose first single hit #1, hosted two network television specials, toured with Kelly Clarkson, appeared on Broadway in Spamalot and for a Christmas show with Ruben Studdard, wrote a memoir, sang the National Anthem at the World Series, and appeared on Scrubs, SNL, Jimmy Kimmel, All My Children and Days Of Our Lives. Keep in mind this is a partial list. Outside of music, Aiken co-founded the National Inclusion Project which helps advocate for children with disabilities, he's a UNICEF ambassador and in 2014 he ran for congress. Partial list aside, I know as I was reading that all of you and me, by the way, were like, I haven't done enough with my life. Aiken is also a father and he decided to step away from music to raise his son without distraction. And so he did, but with college on the horizon for his son, Aiken has decided to re-enter the ring and this conversation is all about his return. And a bunch of other things, too. Talking to him felt familiar--like catching up with an old friend.

In this episode… Digital transformation is reshaping entire industries, yet organizations in highly regulated sectors often struggle to choose the right tools and execute change effectively. As AI, data platforms, and compliance requirements evolve at breakneck speed, innovation can stall under the weight of risk and resistance. How are today's leaders pushing past these barriers to create secure, lasting transformation? For Manvir Sandhu, a digital transformation and AI innovation leader, lasting impact comes from pairing deep industry understanding with a practical, iterative mindset. He traces this philosophy back to his early work in healthcare, where his team reimagined post-disaster vaccine management in Haiti by combining Salesforce and IoT to enable real-time tracking and alerts — an approach that later became a model for broader adoption. Building on those lessons, Manvir pivoted to financial services, using focused proof-of-concept projects to earn trust, modernize legacy systems, and deliver a true 360-degree customer view. His experience demonstrates how thoughtfully applied AI can move far beyond basic automation to drive meaningful operational and customer impact. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Manvir Sandhu, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Zennify, to explore data-driven transformation in highly regulated industries. They discuss proof-of-concept strategies, agile change management, and practical AI use cases across healthcare and financial services. Manvir also shares insights on empowering early adopters, navigating growth, and maintaining culture through leadership transitions.

Katika Jarida la Habari za Umoja wa Mataifa hii leo Flora Nducha anakuletea-Katika ujumbe wake wa mwaka mpya 2026 Katibu Mkuu wa UN Antonio Guterres ameitaka dunia kushikamana kwa ajili ya amani, maendeleo, na usalama badala ya kuongeza mateso-Huko Somalia kwa msaada wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF na wadau wakaazi wa Laascanood waboreshewa huduma za afya baada ya kuvurugika kwa miaka miwili-Na Mkuu wa Shirika la Afya la Umoja wa Mataifa Duniani WHO amesema mwaka 2025 ulighubikwa na changamoto lukuki za afya ya umma duniani ikiwemo ukata wa ufadhili, lakini kuna matumaini hasa katika suala la utipwatipwa

Huko kaskazini mashariki mwa Somalia, eneo la Laascaanood linaendelea kushuhudia maboresho ya huduma muhimu za afya baada ya miaka miwili ya kuvurugika kwa huduma hizo kutokana na mizozo, maboresho haya yanaleta huduma za afya karibu zaidi na akina mama na watoto shukran kwa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF na washirika wake. Tupate taarifa zaidi kutoka kwa Leah Mushi.(Taarifa ya Leah)Kwa mujibu wa UNICEF nchini Somalia, mamilioni ya watoto wanakua katika kivuli au mazingira ya ukimya na dharura zilizosahaulika, takribani watoto milioni 1.8 wanahitaji matibabu ya utapiamlo mwaka huu wa 2025. Kila mwaka watoto wapatao 75,000 walio chini ya umri wa miaka mitano hufariki dunia kutokana na magonjwa yanayozuilika na yanayoweza kutibiwa.Miaka miwili ya migogoro imesababisha kusambaratika kwa huduma muhimu huko Laascaanood. Kurejea kwa hali ya utulivu kumeanza kushuhudia urejeshwaji wa taratibu wa huduma hizi muhimu zinazookoa maisha. UNICEF, kwa msaada wa KSRelief na Saudi Esports Federation, inachangia kwenye kutoa huduma jumuishi za afya ya msingi, huku huduma hizo zote zikitolewa chini ya paa moja.Mpaka sasa maelfu ya watu wamefikiwa huku ukisaidia vituo 13 vya afya kama anavyoeleza Dayid Said Ismail Afisa Lishe (Sauti ya Dayid Said Ismail – Evarist)“Mradi huu unasaidia vituo 13 vya afya na unahudumia zaidi ya watu 150,000. Huduma zake zinajumuisha chanjo za watoto, matibabu ya magonjwa kama nimonia na kuhara, pamoja na huduma za magonjwa mengine ya kawaida ya utotoni.”Katika huduma za matibabu tumsikilize Saida Ali Elmi ambaye ni mhudumu wa Afya(Sauti ya Saida Ali Elmi- Sheilah)“Kama mnavyoona, akina mama wengi wamekuwa kwenye foleni tangu saa moja asubuhi na sasa ni saa 5:30 asubuhi. Kwa hiyo wapo hapa kwa ajili ya chanjo za kinga, ikiwemo chanjo za kifua kikuu, surua, polio, pepopunda, kifaduro, pamoja na chanjo mpya iitwayo PCV ya nimonia.”Juhudi hizi zinazofanywa na mashirika haya, tayari zimeanza kuleta matumaini mapya kwa Ayan Hassan Abdi mama mzazi wa Maryam “Nimemleta Maryam kwa sababu alikuwa na homa. Amepatiwa matibabu na pia chanjo. Alifanyiwa vipimo vya homa na kuharisha, na akatibiwa vizuri, Masha'Allah.”
