Turning vulnerability into opportunity.

THE CHALLENGE
When Circumstances Steal Childhood
Children affected by displacement can face multiple and overlapping forms of vulnerability. Poverty, loss of a parent, discrimination, disability, and social exclusion can create barriers that affect education, wellbeing, and opportunity. HWB supports vulnerable children who are living outside their country of origin, helping address these challenges and promote their wellbeing, education, and opportunities in their current communities.
Loss of a Parent
Children affected by the execution, death, or imprisonment of a parent may face financial hardship, emotional trauma, stigma, and isolation.
Poverty & Education
Economic hardship can prevent children from attending school or obtaining books, technology, transportation, tutoring, and other educational necessities.
Discrimination & Exclusion
Some children face barriers because of gender, religion, ethnicity, family circumstances, or other forms of discrimination.
Children with Disabilities
Children living with disabilities may face additional obstacles to education, accessibility, social participation, and opportunity.
