Healing & Hope

Healing a child means healing the world around them. It’s about creating stable homes, supporting hopeful parents, and restoring a sense of safety so children can truly recover. Your support gives children a real chance to grow, to learn, and to dream again.

About this campaign

Helping Children Heal and Families Rebuild Stability

Every child deserves safety, healing, and the chance to grow.
But for thousands of children, war, displacement, and poverty have left deep, lasting scars. Many live with trauma, anxiety, or depression. Others face unsafe environments, child labor, or early marriage — often because their families no longer have the means to provide stability.

At Child Guardians, we believe true recovery requires more than care — it requires both protection and opportunity. That’s why this campaign combines social protection and mental health support for children with livelihood assistance for their families.

By helping parents start small businesses, gain skills, or restore income, we create the conditions children need to leave work, return to school, and heal in safe, nurturing homes.

How Your Donation Helps!

Your support strengthens the emotional and economic safety net around each child:
  • Social Protection & Individual Support Tailored responses for children at risk — including legal aid, access to health or housing, and case-specific financial assistance.
  • Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Counseling, group therapy, and psychological first aid to help children process trauma, regain confidence, and reconnect with education.
  • Family Livelihood Support Small grants and business tools for caregivers to start income-generating activities — reducing reliance on child labor and restoring family stability.
  • Return to Learning Supporting children’s reintegration into education through tutoring, school materials, and community-based mentoring.

When disaster strikes, children often carry invisible wounds that can last far longer than the physical damage. Seven-year-old Bissan from Maaret Misrin, Idlib, experienced this firsthand when a devastating earthquake shattered not just buildings, but her sense of safety and peace.

More About Donations

Where does my donation go?

100% of your donation — almost always — goes directly to support children and families in need. Our UK operational costs are covered by Gift Aid and other sources, ensuring your generosity reaches the programs on the ground.

Can I choose how my donation is used?

Yes! You can choose to support a specific appeal, such as sponsoring a child, supporting mental health, helping rebuild schools, or funding community initiatives. If you’re unsure, you can make a general donation and we’ll direct it to where it’s most urgently needed.

What impact does my donation have?

Your contribution helps provide essentials like food, clothing, medical care, education, mental health support, and protection services. Whether it’s sponsoring a child, supporting school renovations, or funding youth and community programs — your donation helps restore childhood, dignity, and hope.

How do I know my donation is making a difference?

We are committed to transparency. We provide updates through reports, stories, and testimonials from the communities we serve. Our programs are guided by international standards and best practices, and we continuously measure impact on the ground.
