Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real. More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot. Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world. The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential. We are proud to have them on our team. Credit: Joan Monfort

Thanks for joining us @HelpingHeartFam
Today, we were honored to join @unicefrw in celebrating an incredible milestone 40 years of serving the children of Rwanda. Witnessing children perform the 40th anniversary song with such joy, hope, and pride was a powerful reminder that every investment in a child's future creates lasting impact. We congratulate UNICEF Rwanda on four decades of unwavering commitment to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to survive, thrive, learn, and reach their full potential. As Helping Heart Family Rwanda, we are proud to stand alongside partners who believe that every child matters. Together, we remain committed to building a future where every child is protected, empowered, and given the chance to dream. Happy 40th Anniversary, UNICEF Rwanda! 💙 For every child. Kuri buri mwana.

Dr Athanase is amazing, i was mesmerized (as you can see). I like how he encourages us to apply behavioral science in climate work 👏👏
Yesterday, we hosted an insightful X-Live Space on Building Climate Resilience. On the panel, we had representatives from key partners @EnvironmentRw, @unicefrw, @ICRAF, and tree outgrowers. Key takeaway was “Collaboration is a significant lever for lasting climate resilience.”🌳

Very promising action points for 2026. Kudos to our partners who believe in and trust our Young people. I can happily say “Happy Holidays” and I can’t wait to take the action points into 2026💃
Yesterday, the @Y_Advocates convening wrapped up as young people led the conversation and built the skills to turn their ideas into action. Let’s keep working together to protect child rights and empower youth-led change.
