U-Report is one of many UNICEF innovations solving big challenges for kids worldwide. Check out more in the State of the World's Children 2015 report: http://sowc2015.unicef.org/

Chris Fabian, co-lead of UNICEF's Innovation Unit, talks about how they are using innovation to handle the Ebola response in Liberia.

UNICEF has been working with children in Liberia to provide them with real-time information during the Ebola crisis using U-Report, an SMS/text-messaging tool powered by UNICEF. With U-Report, young people in Liberia can send a free text message to ask a question, participate in a poll and be connected to the internet through their mobile phone.
