Sandi*, 9, Suha*'s younger sister, inside the child friendly space she now attends. Sandi and her siblings are refugees who were forced to flee conflict in Iraq and now live in a displacement camp in Syria. All of them are attending school for the first time in their lives.

Five-year-old Faisal wishes he could fly. He likes to pretend he’s a superhero, and jump from the furniture. Bubbly, happy and energetic, Faisal’s just like millions of other children. But he lives in a refugee camp in Jordan, where life can be tough. Luckily for Faisal, his big brother Bilal is there to look out for him. The boys build forts, play with toys and run races. “I let Faisal win, because when he’s happy I am happy as well,” Bilal says. They play with their favourite teddy, too – a bear that Bilal loves because it travelled from Syria with him. We support refugee families like theirs so that children everywhere are free to just be children. For Faisal, that means climbing, running, jumping, drawing, painting... “I paint everything!” He says. “Especially bears.”

Aslı* is 9 years old and attends the 3rd grade; her favorite subject is mathematics. Aslı* and her family, who live in a town in Adıyaman province, had their house destroyed in the earthquakes on February 6. Subsequently, the family began living in a tent, unfortunately losing close relatives in the earthquake as well. When winter arrived, the family met the Save the Children Türkiye team distributing winter household items in the region. Aslı* expressed her appreciation for the blankets distributed to them, mentioning that they would keep them warm during the winter. Since her favorite Barbie doll and her bag were trapped under the rubble during the earthquake, she now spends her time playing with the toy doll she wants to carry with her everywhere. She shared with us, with a smile, that she wishes to take it everywhere but can't because it's too big. Save the Children Türkiye is making efforts to distribute household items such as ovens, carpets, blankets, rechargeable lights, electric heaters and etc. in earthquake-affected areas. This is to help families and children endure the challenging winter conditions more resiliently and safely.

SUPER 30: Girls on the Move! Thirty girls from Karnali have joined the Super 30 campaign funded by CHARLES & KEITH GROUP to advocate for quality education and the eradication of harmful social norms. During the leadership camp, participants engaged in discussions on how child marriage, violence against women and girls, climate change, online safety and societal prejudices against women and girls impede their participation and leadership roles. Additionally, they emphasized the need to diversify perspectives on leadership, ensuring the inclusion of women, girls, LGBTQI+ individuals, children with disabilities, and members of underrepresented groups in local, national, and global decision-making processes. The Super30 girls will receive leadership training, mentorship opportunities, exposure visits, and seed grants to launch child-led campaigns within their communities.
