East Africa

Listening

Erikshjälpen works in East Africa through local partners in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Uganda. Its work focuses primarily on improving the lives of children living on the streets or in war-torn areas.

In East Africa, we are working on an integrated approach to children's rights that builds on our Thematic areas: the right to education and leisure, health, and safety and protection. Given the climate change taking place in the countries concerned, disaster risk reduction and the ability to adapt and recover from natural disasters are also part of the work.

Here we are in East Africa

Our work in East Africa is based at our Regional offices Kampala, the capital of Uganda, with staff also stationed in Kenya and South Sudan.
