Hundreds of survivors now huddle in relief camps, their faces etched with fear and uncertainty. The immediate need is for shelter, food, and medical assistance. However, the long-term impact on these children is a grave concern.
The loss of their homes and schools has robbed them of their stability and future prospects. Many have witnessed unimaginable horrors, leaving them emotionally scarred and in desperate need of psychosocial support. A lack of educational resources further exacerbates their plight.

The children of Seraj yearn for a return to normalcy, a chance to rebuild their lives and pursue their dreams.
