    In Cameroon's Far North region, chaos and displacement stemming from Boko Haram's violence have upended people's lives. The kids and teachers at Baigai Public School are a mix of refugees from across the border in Nigeria, internally displaced people from within Cameroon and locals. But today, kids and teachers alike are thinking about one thing: getting on the internet for the first time.

    Across the Lake Chad basin region, more than 6.5 million people are severely food insecure. As violence waged by Boko Haram displaces millions across the region, people aren't able to farm, market activities are disrupted and many places are too unsafe for humanitarian organizations to deliver food aid.

Working to end new HIV infection among children by 2015 and keeping mothers alive is a key element of UNICEF’s commitment to child survival.
