🇮🇶 Iraq | Rana: She Once Drew Tanks and Explosions. Now, She Draws Peace 👧 Rana, Fallujah, Iraq For Rana, childhood was deeply disrupted by war. After years of conflict, displacement and the loss of family members, Rana and her brother Adam went more than two years without attending school. They traveled from Al-Hol camp in Syria to Iraq before eventually returning to Fallujah. Even after returning home, they still faced interrupted education, a lack of civil documentation and the insecurity left behind by years of conflict. 💔 What She Lost Was More Than School Rana's family experienced severe trauma during the conflict, including the deaths of relatives and the loss of her mother. The end of fighting did not immediately restore a normal childhood — Rana still feared that the war might return. After returning to Fallujah, she was even unable to fully access education and other essential services because she lacked the necessary civil documents. 🏫 UNICEF Is Helping Her Reclaim Her Childhood

Rana eventually joined a UNICEF-supported child-friendly centre. There, she received accelerated learning classes to help make up for more than two years of missed education, along with psychosocial support. Staff also helped her family obtain civil documentation, allowing the children to regain access to education and other essential services. When Rana first arrived at the centre, she worried that she would not make any friends. But little by little, she began learning again, making friends and smiling again. She used to draw tanks and explosions. Now, she draws peace. She said: “I come here because I laugh here, and I learn here.” 🙏 For a child who has lived through war, rebuilding childhood requires more than a textbook. It requires a safe place to learn, psychosocial support, civil documentation and continued assistance that helps children believe in their future again.

💔 At just 12 years old, she has already had to learn how to face displacement on her own. But she has never given up on one hope: To be reunited with her parents one day. 🏠 What Does She Need Now? For displaced children like Safaa, they need more than just a temporary place to sleep. They need a safe environment, access to education, psychosocial support and child protection. UNICEF is supporting children affected by conflict in Sudan by providing protection, education, psychosocial support and other forms of humanitarian assistance. But millions of children in Sudan remain displaced, and many have been forced to flee their homes more than once. ❤️ Safaa's Hope Safaa is only 12 years old. She did not choose the war, and she did not choose to leave her parents. She is simply a child who was forced to flee her home. She misses her friends, misses her home and wants to continue her education. But right now, what she wants most is very simple: To be back with her parents. 🙏 If you would like to help children like Safaa who have been affected by war, you can make a donation through our official channel. Your support can help children affected by war and displacement access child protection, education, psychosocial support and other essential assistance. Safaa has already walked a long road on her own. Now, more than anything, she hopes that one day she can return to her parents.

🇸🇩 Sudan | 12-year-old Safaa: She Fled the Conflict Alone, Hoping to Be Reunited with Her Parents One Day Chinese Name: Safaa Age: 12 Location: Kordofan region, Sudan; Kadugli Displacement: Forced to leave her home because of escalating violence 👨‍👩‍👧 Family Situation Safaa originally lived with her parents. But as violence escalated in the Kordofan region, she was forced to flee her home. For a 12-year-old child, leaving home alone is frightening enough. What made it even harder was that her parents could not leave with her. They did not have enough money to flee and had to remain behind. Safaa had no choice but to make the journey to safety on her own. ❓ What Is She Facing Now? After arriving in Kadugli, Safaa lost the life she once knew. She misses her home and the friends she used to play with. The conflict also interrupted her education. She does not know when she will be able to return to her former life or when she will see her parents again.

Shockwaves from nearby shelling have shattered the school’s windows, making what should be a safe place for children to learn feel frightening and uncertain. 🏫 Why Does She Keep Going to School? The war has caused many children in Yemen to lose access to regular education. But Ghadeer has not given up on learning. She has a clear dream: She wants to become a doctor. She hopes that one day she will be able to treat people who are injured or sick. For her, continuing school is about more than exams. It is one way of holding on to the belief that her future can still be different. ❤️ What Does She Need Now? Ghadeer and other children need an environment where they can truly learn in safety. They need damaged schools to be repaired, as well as teachers and trained professionals who can help them cope with the fear and psychological stress caused by war. UNICEF supports school rehabilitation in Yemen and helps teachers and students develop psychosocial support and peer-support skills, enabling children to continue learning despite ongoing conflict. But for children living through war, the need for education and psychosocial support remains enormous. 🙏 The Support She Needs Ghadeer is only 13 years old. She should not have to distinguish between the sounds of bombs and gunfire while sitting in a classroom. She should be able to focus on her teacher, play sports with her classmates and talk about what she wants to become when she grows up. Yet even while the war continues, she still chooses to walk into the classroom. 🙏 If you would like to help children like Ghadeer who have been affected by war, you can make a donation through our official channel.

She is continuing to study, hoping that one day she will be able to save the lives of others.

🇾🇪 Yemen | 13-year-old Ghadeer: Bombs Can Suddenly Explode During Class, but She Still Dreams of Becoming a Doctor Chinese Name: Ghadeer Age: 13 Location: Sana’a, Yemen Reason for Being Affected: Ongoing conflict and violence around her school 👧 Family and Daily Life Ghadeer is a ninth-grade student. She still goes to school every day, attends classes with other children and takes part in sports activities. From the outside, her school life may look much like that of other children. But war remains a constant part of her daily life. 💥 The Challenges She Faces Ghadeer says that the sudden sounds of explosions and gunfire during class make it difficult for her to concentrate. Sometimes, a teacher is in the middle of a lesson when a sudden loud “bang” is heard. Some students scream. Others immediately run out of the classroom. The school itself has also been affected by the conflict. Shockwaves from nearby shelling have

🇺🇦 Ukraine｜11-year-old Kira: Shelling struck a building near her home, and she could only hold her little dog as she began the journey to safety Chinese name: Kira Age: 11 Location: Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine Displacement: Forced to evacuate her home because of shelling 👩‍👧 Family Situation Kira and her mother, Alona, originally lived in Kramatorsk. It was once a familiar place filled with her home, school and everyday life. But the war made everything increasingly dangerous. 💥 Shelling struck a building near their home. Under these circumstances, Kira and her mother had to leave their home and take an evacuation bus to a safer place. That day, Kira did not take many things with her. She held her little dog, Kim, tightly in her arms. A photograph captured the moment: An 11-year-old girl sitting on an evacuation bus, holding her little dog tightly. ❓ What Is She Facing Now? For Kira, leaving home did not mean that the war was over.

🇸🇩 Sudan | 13-year-old Nuha: War Separated Her from Her Family, and She Has Been Waiting for Months Chinese Name: Nuha Age: 13 Location: Kordofan region and White Nile State, Sudan Displacement: Fled her home after being separated from her family by the war 👨‍👩‍👧 Family Situation Nuha originally lived with her parents and siblings in the Kordofan region. As the fighting drew closer, the family could only hide inside their home. Recalling that period, Nuha said: “I was very afraid that I would die.” Later, a bomb fell near their home. 💥 In the chaos that followed, Nuha became separated from her parents and siblings. She later fled with her aunt and grandmother and eventually reached a displacement settlement in White Nile State. ❓ What Problems Is She Facing Now? The war took away the familiar life Nuha once knew. What has been even harder for her to bear is that she does not know where her parents and siblings are. Months have passed, yet she has still not been reunited with her family.

She misses her parents and the friends she once had. Now she is living in a new environment, but she cannot stop thinking about finding her family. ❤️ What Support Is She Receiving? Nuha has reached a UNICEF-supported child-friendly space. There, she can play, sing, dance and take part in creative activities with other children. Trained social workers also provide support to children. Nuha can receive counselling as well as mental health and psychosocial support. For children who have become separated from their families, family tracing and helping them safely reunite with their relatives are also important parts of child protection work. 🙏 The Help She Needs Nuha needs more than just a temporary place to stay. She needs continued child protection and psychosocial support, as well as continued efforts to help locate her separated family members. And Nuha is not the only child in Sudan experiencing war, displacement and separation from loved ones. 🙏 If you would like to help children affected by war, such as Nuha, you can make a donation through our official channel. Your support can help children affected by conflict receive protection, psychosocial support and other essential assistance. Nuha is still waiting for news from her family. For a 13-year-old girl, what she is waiting for is simply the answer to one question: When will her family come back?

She once told UNICEF that she misses going to school very much and desperately wants to return. But now, she has begun learning in a new place. She takes part in activities at the child-friendly safe space. She discusses how children can protect themselves. She teaches other children about handwashing and hygiene and tells them how to recognize danger. She can even stand in front of more than 300 displaced children and lead activities. An 11-year-old girl originally wanted only one thing: to return to her school. But violence forced her to leave her home and took away the classroom she knew. She could not decide when the attack would happen. She could not decide when she would be able to return home. But she can choose to keep learning. She can choose to help other children. And she can create a new “classroom” for herself in a new place. For Helen, her deepest wish has not changed: She wants to keep going to school. She wants to have a normal childhood again. She wants to return to the place where she used to see her teachers and classmates every day. Violence took away her original school. But it has not completely taken away her love of learning. Now, in the displacement camp in Makurdi, Helen is continuing to learn in her own way while helping other children learn too. She lost her classroom, but she has become a young teacher and peer educator in front of hundreds of children. She still misses the life she left behind. But she is also working to build a new future. For an 11-year-old, perhaps this is one of the bravest things she can do: After losing her home, she still believes that one day she will sit in a classroom again. After experiencing fear, she is still willing to stand up and help others. After violence interrupted her childhood, she is still determined to continue learning. UNICEF is working through safe spaces, psychosocial support, child protection and education support to ensure that displaced children like Helen still have a safe place to learn, recover and grow. What she wants is actually very simple. Not more possessions. Just to go back to school. Just to keep learning. Just to have a tomorrow that belongs to a child — a tomorrow that will not be interrupted by violence.

“I miss going to school very much. I really want to go back to school.” ❓ Why Was She Displaced? After Yelewata was attacked, large numbers of families were forced to flee. Helen and her family left their home and moved to an internally displaced persons camp in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State. Thousands of displaced families arrived there at the same time. They needed shelter, food, healthcare and protection. But for Helen, another question remained: When would she be able to go back to school? Violence and displacement not only took away the homes children knew, but also prevented many of them from continuing their education. Helen had once had a real classroom. Now, she had to look for another opportunity to learn inside a displacement camp. 📚 What Happened After She Left Home? After arriving in Makurdi, Helen began living in an internally displaced persons camp. She had left her original school behind. But she did not give up on learning. In the camp, UNICEF supported the establishment of safe spaces for children. Helen began participating in a peer education programme. Through the programme, children learn not only life skills, but also about hygiene, child protection, self-awareness and how to protect themselves from harm. Gradually, Helen went from being a child who had lost her school to becoming a young peer educator for other children. She stands in front of other children and leads activities. During one activity, she demonstrated how to use gestures to say “no.” She also discussed handwashing, nutrition, self-protection, menstrual hygiene, and how to recognize and report violence against children and gender-based violence. More than 300 children took part in these activities. Helen became one of the active participants. She had once lost her classroom. Now, inside a displacement camp, she was helping other children learn again. 🏫 She Has Not Forgotten Her School Helen still misses her original school most of all. She has not forgotten what it was like to sit in a classroom. Nor has she forgotten learning together with her classmates. For her, being able to continue learning represents an important source of hope. Although her new “classroom” is simply a safe space inside a displacement camp, Helen has begun to rediscover the feeling of learning there. She has also started helping other children. The girl who once needed support from others can now stand in front of more than 300 children and share what she has learned. War took away her original classroom. But it has not taken away her ability to learn or to help others. 🏥 How Is UNICEF Helping? UNICEF and its partners provide safe spaces, mental health and psychosocial support, and child protection services for children in displacement camps in Makurdi. In response to the displacement crisis caused by the violence in Yelewata, UNICEF supported mental health and psychosocial support for more than 600 children and their caregivers, while establishing safe spaces where children can receive counselling and case management. Staff also conduct child protection activities and awareness programmes on preventing gender-based violence and violence against children, while helping families access essential health, legal and protection services. For children who have experienced attacks and displacement, these services are not only about helping them continue learning. They also help them rebuild a sense of safety. UNICEF staff emphasize that continued support, guidance and psychosocial assistance can help children gradually recover from trauma and adapt to their new circumstances. Helen is one example. She lost her original school, but in a new environment, she has become a source of encouragement and learning for other children. ❤️ Helen Today Helen still lives in an internally displaced persons camp in Makurdi. She can no longer return home to Yelewata every day as she once did. She also cannot return to the school she once knew. She still misses her classroom. She misses her teachers. She misses her classmates.

🇳🇬 Nigeria | 11-Year-Old Helen: She Escaped the Attack, but What She Misses Most Is the Classroom She Was Forced to Leave Name: Helen Terna Age: 11 Location: Yelewata and Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria Displacement: 2025 👨‍👩‍👧 Family Situation Helen originally lived with her family in Yelewata, Benue State, Nigeria. She had her own school there, along with familiar teachers and classmates. For Helen, school was more than just a place to study. It was part of her everyday life. She attended Kiddies International Nursery and Primary School. Going to school every day and learning alongside her classmates was simply the life she knew. But a violent attack changed everything. After the attack, more than 3,000 people were forced to leave their homes. Helen and her family had no choice but to flee Yelewata. She lost her home, and she lost her school. For this 11-year-old girl, leaving school was perhaps one of the most painful parts of being displaced. She told UNICEF:

From that moment on, a 12-year-old child who should have been under the care of adults had to face the journey of displacement on his own. 📚 What Happened After He Left? Jal fled with other civilians to Rabak, about 260 kilometres from Khartoum. There, he had neither his parents nor a permanent place to live. To get food, he began washing clothes for other people to earn money. He used whatever he earned to buy food and sometimes had to find somewhere to sleep on his own. But he never gave up searching for his parents. Later, he continued south to Renk, a key transit point for refugees and returnees fleeing Sudan for South Sudan. There, he continued living alone, earning money by pushing handcarts and selling water to get enough food to survive. He never forgot what he wanted most: To find his parents and go home. 🏥 How Did UNICEF Help? After Jal arrived in Renk, UNICEF and its partners were providing child protection services at reception points, including identifying unaccompanied children, case management, psychosocial support and family tracing. A staff member from a UNICEF partner organization eventually identified Jal as an unaccompanied child. The staff registered his identity and provided him with case management and psychosocial support. Jal was later placed in a transit centre, where he received care from a foster family. There, he also joined youth and adolescent programmes, where he could play games with other children, make friends and gradually regain a sense of normal life. At the same time, staff began searching for his family. Jal’s case was registered in South Sudan’s national child protection information system, and staff then contacted partner organizations in Bentiu. Eventually, they found Jal’s mother. ❤️ Jal Today Jal had gone a full year without speaking to his mother. When staff finally gave him his mother’s phone number, he heard her voice again. Jal was so happy that he said it almost “didn’t feel real.” His mother had only one message for him: “Come home.” UNICEF is supporting Jal’s safe return to Bentiu to reunite with his mother, with social workers accompanying him and providing follow-up support to ensure that he continues to receive protection after returning home. Jal has experienced war, displacement, separation from his family, having to earn his own living and a long search for his loved ones. But he never changed what he wanted most: To go home and live with his mother. When a 12-year-old child flees alone, he does not dream of wealth or a new life. He simply wants to find his parents. And now, that wish may finally come true.
