About Us

Luna Children's Charity

• Supports children and young people traumatised by disaster and conflict
• Offers a new and effective approach to the treatment of trauma in children
• Provides skilled and experienced volunteer therapists to train carers
• Works anywhere in the world where support is not currently available
• Evaluates the outcome of training and direct work with children

As a child-centred voluntary organisation, Luna exists to advance the rights, education and health of children and young people affected by conflict and trauma.

Luna delivers children's accelerated trauma therapy (CATT) training in partnership with organisations working in countries where there is evident need, but which lack the required resources.

In July 2010, Luna trained a group of volunteer therapists to travel overseas. In November, it ran a course in Rwanda for workers with children who are orphans of the genocide or refugees. This was organized with its Training Partner REACH Rwanda). In 2011 we are making plans to undertake training in Uganda and South Africa.

Luna is now recruiting new partner agencies to extend its programme of training to other parts of the world where children are suffering the impact of disaster or conflict.
