In addition to the protracted crises in places like Darfur, Afghanistan, South Sudan and Syria, new ones, such as those in Ukraine and Gaza have emerged, meaning that a fifth of the world’s children – 460 million – now live in conflict zones, and their lives and their opportunities for the future are at risk.
Schools across the world continue to be attacked and the right to education is violated with impunity.
In areas of conflict, 72 million children are not in school, a fact that affects twice as many girls as boys.
Together with our partner organisations, Entreculturas and Alboan, we work with refugee and crisis-affected children. In addition to support, accommodation and food, we provide them with an education, and through schools, we also help to protect them from forced recruitment and encourage them to integrate into their host communities.
