- Close to a quarter of a million of children under the age of five live in three food-insecure regions in the south of the country and are at risk of malnutrition
- An estimated 10,000 children had their education interrupted by the two cyclones, Cyclone Eric and Cyclone Fenele, that hit the southwest and northeast coasts in January
- Another 116,000 children around the country were out of school at certain times during the recent political instability here
- Interruption of water and sanitation services in main towns puts up to 100,000 children at risk of water-borne diseases
- And the recent unusual rates of violence have caused a high level of stress among children and youths who have almost no access to the required psychosocial support.
