A looming food crisis is putting six million people in Niger at risk. Many governments in the Sahel region have declared a state of emergency. UNICEF is helping vulnerable families in the Magaria District with monthly cash allowances that allow them to purchase food for their children. More than 20,000 households have been targeted by the program with plans to expand to other regions in Niger.

UNICEF-supported day care centers are providing secure environments and education to Somali refugee children in Yemen. Each year, a growing number of Somalis are fleeing to Yemen to escape the ongoing conflict in their home country. 2011 recorded a 100% increase in refugees from Somalia over the previous year. UNICEF is working to assist the refugees by supporting day care centers where educational and health services are provided to children and caregivers receive training on child protection issues.
