HIST 4339: Children of War

" The Children and War Foundation (CAW) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving children’s lives after wars and disasters.
When disasters and war strike, so many children are affected. CAW has developed methods which enable us to reach out to large groups of children by helping them cope with their fear and trauma."

"Children of War Foundation's "COWF" mission is to deliver access to global health and education to communities affected by poverty, war, natural disaster, discrimination, climate change, isolation, and migration challenges.

COWF envisions a world where disadvantaged children succeed in life in an environment that promotes their health, social, cultural and moral development. Thanks to our care and commitment to youth worldwide, progress will be made simultaneously on all 17 Sustainable Development Goals."

"Our mission is one of education and empowerment. We focus on providing the most needy children, young adults, and families of Afghanistan with a primary education, a nutritious diet, and valuable job skills through the schools and skills training centers we operate within Afghanistan."

"Our strategy - War Child reaches many thousands of children and youth every year - yet there are 468 million children living with the effects of armed conflict. We will never reach them all by ourselves - which is why our strategic goal is to become the networked expert organisation for children affected by conflict.

Networked: The strategy sees us work together with organisations across the world to ensure our work has maximum reach and impact.

Expert: We continue to develop robust interventions - backed by evidence and research to meet the highest standards of quality - and share them through a network of partner organisations.

Our overall goal is that increasing numbers of children and youth will access quality interventions and as a result enjoy improved wellbeing.."

"The mission of the War Childhood Museum is to continuously and in accordance to the highest standards document and digitize materials related to growing up in the war, and to present the archived materials throughout various media channels in order to educate a broad audience about this experience.

The vision of the War Childhood Museum is to help individuals overcome past traumatic experiences and prevent traumatization of others, and at the same time advance mutual understanding at the collective level in order to enhance personal and social development."
