2015 AF01-2015 Empower, Educate and Protect Vulnerable Children Phase 2

Decades of conflict have left Afghanistan as one of the most dangerous places in the world for children to live. Current figures show that half a million people have been forced to flee their homes and live in temporary settlements - the majority of whom are children. This makes children particularly vulnerable and often they are exploited in the carpet industry or on the streets, where they are put to work. This program increases access to education, psychosocial care and protection for street children in Kabul. Additionally, it aims to raise awareness in the community about childrens rights and the effects of child labour.
