Across all the world’s nations, according to all religions and man-made constitutions, children should be given special care and kept away from struggles and conflicts. They are more valuable than any natural and industrial resource that a country might have. In our work, we must pay special attention to children, fulfill their needs and offer them the opportunity for a prosperous life.
Wherever war or disaster happen, melancholy follows, and children are among those most affected. In such situations, humanitarian agencies must put forth all their efforts to jointly aid the children and help them work through their shock and trauma, because children can not grow normally in an abnormal condition.
Iraq is a perfect example of a country where children need all sorts of assistance. We're working with parents and communities across the country to do just that.
