Stand with children in conflict

Alix* and her family were forced to move to Peru because of the social and economic crisis in Venezuela. They’ve been living in Lima for one and a half years. They were out of education for a while but are back in school now. Save the Children is providing the family with cash payments, as part of a cash transfer programme we launched in Peru in response to the Venezuelan refugee crisis. The children have attended sessions at the CFS which helps with sensitisation and provides practical and psychosocial support to migrant families. A full case study featuring quotes from Alix* is available. In her own words: “The best thing anyone did was buy me an ice cream – my grandma did that.” “So, you are from England and I am from Venezuela, and from Peru.” “By the way, how would the Queen of England be at Christmas? Have you been to the Castle of England? And how is the Queen?” “What I like about being five years old is playing with the “tabla”. I also like playing with my toys. I like to be with my cousin, my brother and my friend.”

We’ve all seen the horror and heartbreak on the news of the war in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, children in Syria and Yemen are on the frontlines of other devastating conflicts.

FLOWER POWER

Sharing flowers is a simple act we can all do – children and adults alike. By sharing a flower, you can send a simple, powerful message of solidarity to the children living through the horrors of war.

Flowers can express our feelings when words fail. Feelings of love, grief and new beginnings.

In our child-friendly spaces – where children get the chance to play, learn, feel safe and regain a sense of normality amid conflict – children often draw, paint and photograph flowers as symbols of hope and peace.

“Every time [a flower] falls, it springs up again” Yara*, 17, Syrian refugee
