Child Protection
Every child has the right to live free from violence, exploitation, and abuse. Our child protection program is the frontline response to that right.
Protecting Children at Risk
In South Sudan's conflict zones, children face separation from families, abduction by armed groups, gender-based violence, and statelessness. Our child protection teams work 24/7 to identify, rescue, and provide immediate care to children at risk.
What We Do
- Identify and rescue children from abusive situations
- Provide emergency shelter and care in safe houses
- Offer legal aid and birth registration services
- Support family tracing and reunification
- Train communities on child protection and awareness
