Child Protection & Social Welfare

Safeguarding every child’s right to safety, dignity, education, and emotional well-being across Kakuma refugee camps and host communities.

Child Safeguarding

Protecting the Most Vulnerable in Displaced Settings

Children in refugee camps face heightened risks of neglect, child labor, and trauma. ACWA places child welfare at the heart of its mission.

We work alongside local authorities, schools, and community leaders to create vigilant protection networks that identify vulnerable children early and provide comprehensive care.
