War Child Holland projects reach more than 650.000 children in 2005

The conflict in the North has uprooted an estimated 1.7 million people (including some 935,000 children).
As part of their international cooperation War Child Holland and War Child Canada are working closely for the children of Northern Uganda, in Kitgum, Gulu and Lira districts.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congolese youth have started their own radio stations using any cobbled-together equipment they could find. This type of youth-based ‘radio-revolution’ often happens in conflict zones.
War Child Canada is supporting a youth-led radio program created by a group of youth in Baraka who run two small existing FM radio stations. Echo Bravo, one of WCC’s local partners, has provided training and a course for radio and outreach ‘animators’ on HIV/AIDS and life skills.
Besides the creative workshops, War Child Holland Operations are increasing the education component in it’s programs.
This is contributing a lot to the overall aim of War Child: to make children in war zones more able to withstand the pressures of war around them.
