The #SafeSchools campaign is a digital campaign which aims to highlight the impact of the crisis in the Central Sahel and Lake Chad Basin on children to ensure that their right to education is respected and that the school environment is safe and protected. The campaign is spearheaded by Joining Forces WACA (West and Central Africa) and UNICEF in West and Central Africa.
