Child Protection

Many children in Mosul, Iraq have seen the tragedies of war firsthand, whether they’ve been injured themselves or lost a loved one. Thanks to World Vision’s child protection programme, children who became withdrawn due to trauma are regaining their confidence.

For example, 8-year-old Malak, who was injured by a bomb and became very shy and inexpressive, is now “enjoying studying and playing with her friends”, according to her sister Dalal. World Vision is helping children recover from trauma by:

Pairing them with case workers to provide personal counseling
Providing safe spaces in the city for play and educational activities

Education

World Vision’s Early Childhood Development programmes take a holistic approach to education and integrate nutrition, health and economic development work to bolster children’s learning skills.

Emergency Response

Because we are already on the ground in 100 countries, World Vision can offer immediate and life-saving support when a disaster strikes.

Food & Nutrition

Disasters, whether natural or manmade, often lead to food insecurity. Poor nutrition is an underlying cause of nearly 2.4 million childhood deaths each year.

Healthcare

Amid the outbreak of COVID-19, the doctors and nurses with World Vision Afghanistan’s Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams have remained in the country’s refugee camps.
