Child Protection

A key part of our work is supporting vulnerable children and families through community-based initiatives and targeted interventions. Through the Kids@Risk programme in Pibor, Help a Child South Sudan supports children affected by crisis with access to education, protection and trauma-informed care. 

 In Aweil, the A Good Start, a Loving Family project focuses on improving care for young children by supporting foster family placements, providing safe daytime care, and strengthening parents’ caregiving skills. We also use child-friendly activities, such as traditional Boru Boru games, to promote children’s rights, build confidence, encourage girls’ participation and strengthen peaceful relationships within communities.  

Through these efforts, Help a Child South Sudan aims to ensure that children grow up in safer, more supportive environments where they can recover, develop and thrive.
