How war destroys childhoods through poverty and lost education

 The Forgotten Victims: 

How War Fuels Child Poverty and Blocks Education

War turned this school into rubble—but the child still dreams

War's Silent Suffering

While headlines focus on politics and borders, the true victims of war are often forgotten—the children. From Cabo Delgado in Mozambique to the heart of Ukraine, war rips families apart and crushes futures. Today, we speak for them.

How War Destroys Families

When fathers are taken to war or lost in conflict, mothers are left behind—often jobless, traumatized, and overwhelmed. In regions like Cabo Delgado and Eastern Ukraine, families are shattered, and income disappears overnight.

• Single mothers struggle without support.

• Children drop out of school to survive.

• Basic needs like food, water, and shelter become a daily battle.

The Education Crisis in War Zones

When war enters, innocence leaves

Schools are often closed, bombed, or used as shelters during wars. Education becomes a luxury instead of a right.

• In Cabo Delgado, many children have fled their homes and are living in displacement camps.

• In Ukraine, bombings have made regular schooling impossible for many.

• Without education, there's no way out of poverty.

Emotional Toll on Children

A mother’s courage, a child’s resilience

Beyond poverty and lost schooling, war deeply scars children emotionally. They suffer from:

• Trauma and fear

• Separation from siblings and parents

• Malnutrition and poor health

• Loss of hope for the future

These children are not just statistics. They are future doctors, teachers, leaders—if given a chance.

High Injustice in War Zones

War turns children into fighters instead of students. This is not childhood—this is survival

In war zones, children often face injustice:

• Forced labor

• Child marriage

• Sexual exploitation

• Recruitment into armed groups

These crimes happen in silence. The world needs to listen louder.
