Upwards of 30,000 children have been actively engaged in fighting in DRC. Of those who are no longer part of fighting forces at least 10,000 have been unable to reconnect with their families and communities.
Thousands more are living and working on the streets. Some are orphans, many more have been accused of witchcraft. Our work supports and protects these children and helps them to reintegrate with society.
