Save the Children - Afghanistan

Save the Children brings mine‑risk awareness on camel‑back, traveling with nomadic families to reach remote villages. Books, toys, and safety lessons, carried on a camel, help keep children safe while supporting their learning and wellbeing.

Camels carry mine awareness in remote parts of #Afghanistan where 7 out of 10 casualties from explosive ordnance are children. “Children are impacted by the legacy of decades of conflict on a daily basis” Bujar Hoxha, Country Director @Save_Afg savethechildren.net/news/camels-ca…
