2016 CD128 CD134 CD137 Protection of Children in Walungu Territory DRC

Peace treaties to try and halt the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) may have been signed but children continue to suffer from the sporadic violent unrest between the Congolese army and rebel militias in the east of the country. This project uses a community based approach to implement child protection structures. With main activities such as awareness raising among adults and leaders, and catch up education for local children, War Child and all stakeholders in the target communities ensure that a stable environment is created where stakeholders and government authorities prioritize the well-being of children and youth.
