Projects

Psychosocial Support

Psychosocial support allows children involved in armed groups to alleviate their suffering and help them recover from the trauma they have experienced.

Life Skills Capacity Building

Life skills are abilities that enable children to deal effectively with the challenges of everyday life, such as communication, interaction, and dealing with emotions.

Income-Generating Opportunities

CCF supports projects that give children access to technical and vocational training.

Capacity building for Psychologists and Carers to Support Children

The capacity of the (para) professionals in supporting children affected by conflict is fundamental to the quality of support provided to the children.

Strengthening Family and Social Network Support Systems for Children

A key protecting factor for children to become involved in conflicts, and a key stabilising factor in the rehabilitation of children who have been involved in conflict is having a good family and social network system.
