This holistic approach ensures that young children are cared for in a nurturing environment, have the knowledge to stay healthy and safe, and have access to quality education. We are very thankful to the people of Japan for their continued generosity,\u201d said Ted Maly, UNICEF Representative. <\/p>\n<p>Previous contributions of the Government of Japan have supported refugee children in Rwanda affected by other humanitarian crises, with a focus on child protection, health, sanitation and hygiene, early childhood development and education. Funding from the Government of Japan to UNICEF provided psychosocial support to more than 8,000 children and their families to prevent and respond to violence, family separation, exploitation, and abuse. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cI am happy that I can go to school every day knowing that my siblings are safe and have food,\u201d said Jeanine, a 17-year-old refugee from DRC. \u201cWe were worried about our future, but now we have no despair.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The new funds from The Government of Japan will continue to focus on critical needs of Burundian refugees in Mahama Camp. \u201cWhen children are protected, have access to early learning and quality education, they have a better chance at optimal development.
