More than 450 million children are living in war zones and conflict affected places today.
We can’t prevent war and conflict, but we can help children and families cope with extreme stress by providing knowledge, skills and practical support.
We work with parents and caregivers, teachers, social workers and health professionals to strengthen their competencies to meet the needs of children and youth affected by war.
We do this so that they can survive and thrive even though adverse experiences have impacted their lives. War doesn’t have to be the end of their story.
