About Forgotten Diaries:

Forgotten Diaries (FD) is an online initiative which aims at shedding light on the most unreported and underreported conflicts, crisis and issues by involving those most affected by these: children and young people. Forgotten Diaries is a unique project which aims to raise awareness of the several under-reported conflicts currently occurring around the world and empower young people living in these zones with the skills and tools they need to contribute towards grass roots peace-building and community development.
