In conflict-affected countries
We're providing life-changing support to the most vulnerable children whose families, communities and schools have been torn apart by war. Find out more about our approach. Our vital work includes...
Providing medical care, sanctuary and counselling to girls who have been the victim of sexual violence.
Creating safe havens where children can escape the dangers of life on the streets after war has forced them to leave home.
Rebuilding schools destroyed by war and getting kids out of army uniforms and into school ones.
Helping children get their voices heard and their rights met, and helping local people to protect their children better.
Afghanistan
We've been on the ground in Afghanistan since 2001.
Our projects are supporting young children's vital early development, and we're helping children who are held in prison with their mothers or who are locked up themselves.

We're raising awareness and persuading governments and decision-makers to meet their responsibilities to keep children safe.

Campaigning
