OUR WORK What We Do and Why It Matters Our Programs At CVA, our work is guided by one overall goal: to fight for the protection of every child, at all times   and especially during emergencies. We know that children are among the most vulnerable people during crises, and yet they are often the last to be heard.   Our programs are designed to meet children where they are   in conflict zones, displaced communities, schools, and homes   and give them both protection and a platform.   Below are the key areas of our work: 1. Empowering Children Through Education We believe that knowledge is power and that power belongs to every child. CVA works to ensure that children have access to education, understand their rights, and are equipped to speak up in matters that concern them. 2. Protection of Children in Crisis No child should suffer in silence. CVA is committed to the care, well-being, survival, and development of all children with a particular focus on those facing extreme hardship 3. Advocacy and Awareness Raising CVA advocates loudly and clearly for children’s rights. We work to ensure that governments, institutions, communities, and families understand and fulfil their obligations to protect children. 4. Support for Internally Displaced Children (IDCs) Children who have been forced to flee their homes because of conflict or disaster face some of the most difficult conditions. CVA takes deliberate steps to ensure that Internally Displaced Children (IDCs) 5. Counselling, Vocational Skills and Livelihood Training CVA provides counselling and practical skills training for children and young people in need. We understand that many children especially those from disadvantaged or crisis-affected backgrounds need more than just emotional support. They need tools to build a future.
