For children

affected by war

WHAT WE DO

War leaves long lasting trauma on its youngest survivors. Firefly International is dedicated to supporting children affected by the ravages of war, providing them with critical opportunities to heal, learn, and build a peaceful future. We partner with local organisations in Bosnia, Gaza, and among Syrian refugees, providing education, mental health support and peace building initiatives tailored to the needs of war-affected children.

Today our mission is more vital than ever before because the world is becoming increasingly dangerous for children affected by war.
