From #Jharia to #Warsaw, the #QuiltOfHope stitches together the lives of children battling air pollution; one story, one city, one breath at a time.
Mothers of ‘Clean Air Circle’ from six countries brought together by @OurKidsClimate with one purpose, to make the invisible visible. Each patch on the quilt holds the face of a child and the weight of a city’s polluted air.

More in the🧵 In Mexicali, a city in #Mexico, where the sun scorches the land and the air is choked with pollution from traffic, factories, and dust, one mother decided it was time to act. Her children, just six and nine years old, had been struggling with frequent respiratory infections and worsening asthma for the younger one. Though she hesitated at first, unsure whether sharing her child's image would make a difference. she soon realised that silence was no longer an option.

On #CleanAirDay today, mothers have submitted a letter to the Hon’ble Health minister @JPNadda suggesting immediate measures to act on air quality.
Clean air is a human right & @MoHFW_INDIA must initiate action to ensure #CleanAirNow in our hospitals/schools/public spaces💙
