Conflict throws everyday life into chaos

We help children and families recover by providing them with access to education, protection from abuse, and safe spaces.

Instability threatens a child's future

We minimize the long-term losses children suffer in war and conflict by offering safe and consistent access to education. We help families escape poverty and provide legal support for survivors of sexual violence and abuse.

99% of our staff are local

Local people understand a community’s culture, history, and needs, which is why we work with community members and leaders to understand the issues they face and implement the most effective solutions.

We ensure that children are at the centre of all humanitarian responses

It is our responsibility to highlight the experiences of children living with war and conflict, and to insist that the world responds to their needs.

We don't work alone

We work with many partner agencies to implement the highest quality programs, including UN agencies, other local and international non-governmental organizations, and government providers of foreign aid.

Communities need more to survive than you think

Child-Friendly Spaces

We provide safe spaces for children to play, learn, seek help, and just be kids.

Catch-Up Learning

We help children who were forced to leave school to catch up on their education. Our teams develop condensed curriculums and train teachers in delivering these lessons.

Legal Aid for Women and Children

To protect their rights, our lawyers provide free legal representation to women and children who have survived violence and abuse.

Tools for Education

We give communities necessary supplies for education, like pencils, books, chairs, and handwashing facilities.

Rights Protection

We empower communities and local leaders to protect the rights of women and children through education and training.

Food and Farming Support

We support farming families so they can feed their communities. We provide supplies, including seeds and tools, and training, like livestock management and new farming techniques.

Peacebuilding

We teach conflict resolution to young people on both sides of a dispute so they can live and work peacefully.

New Business Support

We train and support young adults and women so that they can build local businesses and provide for their families.

Mental Health Support

We offer counselling to survivors of conflict to help them overcome trauma and build new lives.
