Survive, recover & build a future.

Millions of children live amongst conflict, disaster, political unrest & ongoing instability. In these dangerous places, children are extremely vulnerable to violence, poverty, abuse and exploitation.

World Vision can’t end wars, stop political unrest or eliminate corruption.

But through Childhood Rescue, we ensure that these children don’t miss out by responding to urgent and arising needs with life-saving interventions, crisis recovery programs, and peacebuilding initiatives.

Realities of living in dangerous places

Discover below key issues affecting children in dangerous places.

From recovery to survival

Life can change in an instant for children as peace and order can be disrupted anytime due to the presence of armed conflict and political complexities.

There is a constant threat in peace and order as illegal trade, corruption, and terrorist groups existence are still part of their everyday life.

From joyful to fearful childhood

The constant threat in peace and order put families and children at high risk of poverty, child labor, early marriage, and terrorist group recruitment among others.

Since the Marawi siege in 2017, there is fear that a normal day of play can turn into one that children have to run for their lives again.

 

From hopeful to doubtful future

Building a future that can collapse in an instant is an everyday battle for families and children in dangerous places.

The loss of their home and old life serves as painful reminder that a hopeful future is uncertain.
