Christian charity World Vision UK's #BearsOnStairs campaign displayed 700 donated second-hand and new soft toys to highlight the devastating effect the conflict in South Sudan is having on the nation's children.
Each bear represents the number of these child refugees who arrive in Uganda each week.
Tim Pilkington, CEO of Christian charity World Vision UK, told Premier about what inspired the idea.
He said: "The attempt here is in a gentle way to raise the profile of something that people don't always know about and is really serious.
"The reason for 700 teddy bears is that 100 of those every day who arrive in Uganda are unaccompanied children.
"If you think of the most vulnerable people, they're the people who sort of suffered war and famine and then the most vulnerable of those are probably the children. And the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable are the children who are actually alone, who are travelling alone, who aren't in family groupings."
More than 150,000 child refugees in mass settlements in northern Uganda require therapy after fleeing violence in neighbouring South Sudan.
Psychologists and child welfare experts working in the Imvepi and Bidi Bidi refugee settlements of Uganda said most of these children have suffered and witnessed terrible brutality as the fighting intensifies in the East African country. An alarming 60 per cent need urgent specialist therapy to treat the effects of conflict-related stress disorders.
Carey Lodge, media officer at World Vision UK, recently went to Uganda and told Premier the difference a simple teddy bear can make for the children.
She explained: "Our child-friendly space experts are saying they're really excited because you know, just giving these kids a space to play, be kids again after they've experienced such traumatic things is so important and we're hoping these teddy bears can make a tiny difference."
The international charity which aims to improve the lives of the most vulnerable children plans to send the toys to the child refugees in South Sudan.
Pilkington said there are a number of ways people can help the children, including using social media to spread awareness about the crisis.

He went on to explain: "They can go on our website and give to the South Sudan appeal. They can pray. I believe prayer does make a difference. These are psychological things - God cares about these children and he will raise up the people who need to be there to help him.
