This programme aims mainly at training local social workers and psychologists to deal with the problems that confront children. While these programmes have had very limited success, they rarely reach the most vulnerable groups such as refugee children. In Serbia and Montenegro, the Soros Foundation sponsors children's camps. Children are able to study, play and generally forget the war. Again, however, these camps reach only small portions of the population and they do not hesitate from helping children to establish a sense of national pride, which without proper guidance when they return home can translate into the ultra-nationalism that fuels the continuation of the war.
Education is also relevant to the protection of children.
Through education child health can be improved, social-psycho development can be promoted and domestic needs can be understood. Statistically, the fact that there is a clear impact is not difficult to see. More than a million children throughout the former Yugoslavia have not had the opportunity to attend primary or secondary school for more than two years. As the conflict continues without an end in sight and humanitarian organisations continue to struggle to provide the immediate material needs of the victims of the war, it is increasingly possible that a whole generation might be left without a basic education. This turn of events alone will plummet a developed country into an underdeveloped country.
