You're watching UNICEF Television. 00:00:00
Every Saturday, five-year-old Asiya helps her mother with household chores. 00:00:04
After sweeping floors and washing clothes, 00:00:11
she leaves home to attend Quranic school in her neighborhood. 00:00:14
In spite of her tender age, Asiya is expected to learn the Quran by heart, 00:00:21
a religious tradition observed by many Muslim communities in northern Nigeria. 00:00:27
Today, her long hours of recitation are interrupted by a team of vaccinators 00:00:34
who have come to immunize the children against polio and other preventable diseases. 00:00:40
Just one year earlier, many Quranic schools would not allow the vaccinators 00:00:50
to come and immunize the children. 00:00:55
But this year, things have changed. 00:00:58
In the past, we didn't have a clear understanding of these issues, 00:01:04
but now we understand everything about it. 00:01:08
As a result of the preaching given by our religious leaders, 00:01:11
we know that immunization is good for our children, and we should cooperate. 00:01:14
In 2006, Nigeria reported more than 1,000 polio cases, 00:01:20
half of the global total. 00:01:26
For the government and its partners like UNICEF, 00:01:29
mobilizing traditional and religious leaders has been a key strategy 00:01:32
in the campaign to eradicate polio. 00:01:37
To build trust in immunization, 00:01:42
community dialogues like these are held throughout the region, 00:01:46
involving religious leaders, traditional leaders, and Quranic school teachers. 00:01:50
With their influence, immunization has become more openly accepted in many communities. 00:01:57
I allow my children to be immunized because it prevents them from getting killer diseases, 00:02:07
such as measles, polio, and diphtheria. 00:02:12
During this round of the polio immunization campaign in Kaduna State, 00:02:19
Asia, along with 30,000 other Quranic school children, are immunized against polio. 00:02:23
Across the region, a total of 14.5 million children are targeted 00:02:32
against this deadly disease that does not discriminate. 00:02:37
In Kaduna, northern Nigeria, this is Kunli reporting for UNICEF Television. 00:02:43
