Axfood support Save the Children´s work in the Ivory Coast. Half a million children has been forced to flee their homes since the conflict in Ivory Coast intensified in November last year. Many children are separated from their families and at risk of abuse and exploitation.
What Save the Children do:
- Improving sanitation in camps for displaced and educating families in hygiene and provide them with water purification tablets.
- Distribution of food to children, pregnant and breastfeeding women. In addition we provide them with kits for newborns to ensure babies stay clean and warm.
- Family tracing and reunification for separated children and preventing recruitment of children into armed forces.
