Assistance for Children

Attention! All services and assistance of UNHCR and its partners are free of charge!

Children may be at risk especially if they are without a family, or if they are in an unstable care arrangement. They may be at risk of child labor and exploitation, being out of school, drug and substance abuse, malnutrition, mental health issues and sexual and gender-based violence such as forced child marriage.

If your children need assistance or if you know children who need assistance, please call the UNHCR National Call Center at 📞04726111, contact us through 🗎the Online Contact Form or reach out to the organizations that the UNHCR works with for services they provide for children at risk.
