**Help Stop the Spread of a Deadly Disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo**

Imagine you're a child living in a crowded village in the Democratic Republic of Congo. You might not have access to clean water or proper healthcare. Now, imagine if there was a disease spreading quickly through your community, making you and your friends very sick. 🤢

This is the reality for many children in the DRC, where a disease called mpox is causing a lot of harm. Mpox is a viral disease that can cause blisters, fever, and even kill. It's usually spread through direct contact with an infected person or animal.

The situation is critical, especially for the one million children under five years old who live in the DRC. They are at high risk of getting the disease due to their weak immune systems. The government and health workers are doing their best to stop the spread of mpox, but they need our help. 🌎

That's where mobile teams come in. Skilled medical workers are traveling to remote communities to educate people about how to prevent the disease. They're also providing medical treatment to those who are sick. Their goal is to reach as many people as possible, especially in areas that are hard to access.

But it's not just the medical workers who are making a difference. Schools are also playing a crucial role in preventing the spread of mpox. Educators are teaching students how to avoid getting infected and how to care for themselves if they do get sick.

**How can you help?**

First, you can spread the word. Tell your friends and family about the situation in the DRC and how they are fighting to stop the spread of mpox.

Next, you can donate to organizations like UNICEF that are working on the ground to provide medical care and support. Every dollar counts, and it could help save a child's life. 🌟
