The Plight of Children...

According to the United Nations Secretariat for Children and Armed Conflict, in addition to over a million children killed in armed conflict in recent years, 6 million have been rendered permanently disabled and up to a quarter of a million children are exploited as child soldiers. In the last few years in Africa alone, over 100,000 children have been used as soldiers.
Contemporary terrorism is another adult act of violence that increasingly adds to the suffering of so many children. Those who survive conflict and acts of terror can be physically maimed for life and/or emotionally haunted.
Our Foundation helps to renew the human spirit of such children.
Your support is crucial: We need your help to heal the hearts of child survivors of war and terrorist violence.
