RT @RESCUE_UK: Thanks @AndrewmitchMP for supporting our work protecting women and girls in Niger.

It is vital #UKAid continues to support women and girls.

We look forward to continuing to work with @FCDOGovUK to ensure women and girls can live free from violence and choose their own future.

Last year the hospital used just 6 paediatric beds.

@MSF have just erected a tented extension to the hospital with 100 intensive beds for malnourished children. It’s nearly full already.

#UKAid has provided a much needed ambulance to @WHO for this hospital.

.. but conflict and climate change means that many children become displaced when families are forced to move on. #UKAid has been helping @UNICEF with accelerated learning for those who have missed out. This clever solar radio can also be used to deliver tailored lessons.

@UNICEF funded by #UKAID give sachets to mothers of malnourished children. Nearly every child needed sachets.
The tiny one-a-day treatments of fortified peanut paste can be life savers. But only if there are not other complications - many also had coughs, prob pneumonia.

RT @RESCUE_UK: We welcome the additional #UKAid funding for #EastAfrica, home to 70% of the world's most extremely food insecure people.

It is vital that the UK now rally other international donors before it is too late.

🚨Every second we wait puts hundreds of thousands of lives at risk.🚨

I’ve just returned from an inspiring visit to Sierra Leone 🇸🇱. Proud to see the transformative effects of #UKAid in the lives of so many people across Sierra Leone, particularly women and girls.

My reflections ⬇️

Investing in essential health services saves lives & reduces the preventable deaths of mothers & babies.

Across Sierra Leone, #UKAid support has helped reduce maternal deaths by 30% & child deaths by 20% since 2016 - honoured to meet staff and patients at Lungi Hospital.

Electricity access saves lives. ⚡️

Just visited a #UKAid supported rural electrification grid in Sierra Leone, 1 of 95 providing sustainable energy for over 360,000 people.

These grids:
💼 Help local businesses grow
💵 Encourage reliable investment
🏥 Power essential services

#UKAid has improved education for over 1 million children in Sierra Leone & helped hundreds of thousands of girls to stay in school. Great to meet students at Tomlinson secondary school & hear about how
UK support is making a difference in their lives. #EveryGirlEverywhere

Every woman should be able to access family planning - if she wants too.

In Masiaka today Dr John told me how #UKAid is supporting health systems for rural communities in Sierra Leone & helping 460,000 people access family planning services, including adolescent girls.

2/3 But fees are not the only barriers to education.

I’ve also seen how #UKAid support on sanitation, nutrition and sexual & reproduction health is making it easier for all children - but especially teenage girls - to continue their education.

Quality education is the key to a successful nation.

Today 🇹🇿 & 🇬🇧 launched #ShuleBora, our ambitious new programme to increase quality education for millions of children, including 2 million girls.

#UKAid making a difference in many lives. #EveryGirlEverywhere
