War in Central African Republic: Children at Risk

The Number of Children Caught in Conflict Grows
In a war-torn country, the most vulnerable are always children. Since December 2012, the Central African Republic’s complex humanitarian and protection crisis has put too many children at risk. An estimated 452,000 people are internally displaced and 452,000 are refugees in neighbouring countries such as Cameroon, the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Donate to Boost UNICEF’s Humanitarian Aid in the Central African Republic
UNICEF is providing immediate, life-saving support to meet basic needs for water and sanitation, health and nutrition, education and child protection. Currently, more than 40,000 children attend UNICEF’s Temporary Learning Spaces in the the Central African Republic, which provide some balance and education in their lives. Child protection is crucial in conflict zones because it provides children with a sense of security. UNICEF is also working to release children from armed forces and groups and provide these children with psychosocial support to help them reintegrate into their communities.
