Child Protection

Since 2015, Save the Children has strived to protect and keep safe more than 31,000 children in Mahama Camp. In collaboration with UNHCR and MINEMA, Save the Children traces families and reunites them with their children in Rwanda and Burundi.

Save the Children has supported vulnerable and unaccompanied children in Mahama Refugee Camp since 2015 through its Alternative Care Program. 15 years old, Clementine is one of the children that Save the Children has placed into a foster family after being separated from her mother whilst in Rwanda.

At the age of 13 years old, Abeho arrived alone as an unaccompanied child in Rwanda in 2015,
