A boy holding a football stands in front of a shipping container that bears the UNICEF logo, in the Galagayin settlement for internally displaced persons (IDPs), in the district of Sabirabad, 180 km south of Baku, Azerbaijan. The container serves as a temporary kindergarten for some 60 children from the local community. It is 1 of 34 UNICEF-assisted facilities providing early childhood care and development services for 2,600 internally displaced and refugee children in 14 districts. UNICEF also provides roofing materials, educational supplies, and toys and recreational equipment.
