6.5 million children have been displaced due to the ongoing conflict.

When Survival Replaces Play, Every Child Loses

Displacement uproots children from everything familiar and safe. Instead of enjoying play, learning, and family warmth, they face harsh realities and struggles no child should endure.

Imagine a world where:

  • Playgrounds are replaced by refugee tents.
  • Classrooms are lost to overcrowded shelters.
  • Laughter is muted by the need to find clean water and food.
  • Dreams of the future are overshadowed by memories of conflict and loss.

For these children, fear and isolation have replaced childhood joys. Before offering education or resources, we must first restore their sense of safety and trust.

We have seen that traumatised children require more than just educational interventions; they need comprehensive psychosocial support to address their mental health needs.

Effective rehabilitation for these children involves creating safe environments, providing mental health services, and ensuring consistent, nurturing care to facilitate healing and learning.
