Sometimes, protecting a child's future starts with one conversation.

In northern Nigeria, Azzika Umar attended a community outreach session organized by our partner New Incentives, where he learned more about the importance of childhood vaccinations.

That conversation changed his perspective.

Together with his wife, Aminatu, he made vaccination a priority for their children. And when their newborn daughter arrived, Azzika took her to the clinic himself while Aminatu recovered from childbirth.

Azzika's story is one of many other fathers who have come to understand the importance of childhood vaccinations thanks to New Incentives.
