Kai, 9, South Sudan.
I was sleeping when the fighting broke out in my village. I was very frightened. We ran as fast as we could.
- Kai, 9, South Sudan
Kai was 9 when the war reached his home. He and his family fled in fear of their lives, with nothing but the clothes they were wearing.
Now they live in a camp.
We’re providing food, water and shelter for Kai and his family. Without our help, they’d struggle to survive. We’ve also given Kai counselling to help him overcome his fears, and a football so he can learn to play and smile again.
There are many more children like Kai who need our help.
Give now to reach more children in the world’s most dangerous places, wherever it’s most needed.
Survival
During a crisis, many children are on the edge of survival; weak with hunger; at risk from disease or homeless after fleeing in fear.
Your support will provide the food, water, shelter and healthcare they urgently need.
Recovery
During a crisis, many children lose their homes and family. Some go through horrific experiences like rape or seeing their loved ones killed.
Your support will provide specialist care to traumatised refugee children, helping them recover.
Hope
It’s hard to think about the future when you’re fighting for survival.
Your support will help to provide safe environments, free from child labour, where children can get the education and support they need to fulfil their potential.
