Somalia Child Friendly Space

Every parent dreams of seeing their child succeed.

Father's strive to provide their children with safety, protection and joy.

This is a heartwarming story about a father, his precious daughter and the power of turning up in some of the world's most complex and dangerous places.

Despite the tragedy and very real difficulties found in many places we work, some things universally remain the same.

There's a special love between fathers and daughters, and where there is hope, there is light.

Press play for a moment of light :)

Refugees

Never before have the immediate needs of vulnerable children and their families been so great. Covid-19, climate change, food insecurity and violence have only increased the vulnerability of some 79.5 million (UN 2019*) forcibly displaced persons.

1% of the world's population is displaced. Among them are nearly 26 million refugees, around half of whom are under the age of 18*.

Refugees and those forcibly displaced face realities most of us simply can not truly comprehend. Often fleeing for their lives, families are forced to leave everything behind just to stay alive. Some must cross borders, many attempt to find shelter in camps for Informal Displaceed Persons (IDP) within their home country. Conditions are mostly devastating and children are highly vulnerable to violence, neglect, exploitation. Childhoods are robbed along with children's futures and dreams.

Childhood Rescue provides support in many ways - working directly with refugees, partner NGOs, and with government agencies. Support includes:

Providing urgent and ongoing food assistance
Establishing child-friendly spaces for psycho-social and mental health support
Child awareness sessions and places to play and be a child
WASH programs that provide water & sanitation programs and support
