Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed poses in front of billboards showcasing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Times Square, New York City. In order to highlight the need for more ambitious action on the SDGs and to continue to engage with the general public, the 17 Goals are being showcased in Times Square this week, inviting everyone to stand behind the Sustainable Development Goals in advance of the UN General Assembly high-level week.

A view of one of the classrooms with partial roof at the “25 de Junho” School, located in Beira, Mozambique. The school is currently hosting around 5,000 children ranging in ages from five to 14. Organized in three shifts, starting at 6 am, the students fill classrooms which take up to 90 students. Part of the school was built by the community and completed last year. During the cyclones windows were broken and most of the tin roofs flew off, except for some parts that now hang in pieces over the students.
This photograph is part of a series of images made in the days leading up to the arrival of Secretary-General António Guterres in Mozambique. Mr. Guterres visited the country to take stock of the recovery efforts in the areas impacted by cyclones Idai and Kenneth, which hit just a few weeks apart in March and April 2019.
More than 600 people perished during Idai alone; the effects of the two cyclones combined left approximately 2.2 million people in need of assistance. The United Nations and its humanitarian partners have since been on the ground supporting the Government’s efforts - assisting through contributing to the coordination of international support, distributing food, drinking water and medicine, and providing shelter to those displaced.
