Duration: September 2010 – February 2011

Districts: (Sukkur), (Shikarpur), (Kashmore)(SRSO) and (Jamshoro) (TRDP).

Major Activities:

SRSO and TRDP with the support of UNICEF started a child protection program in Sukkur, Shikarpur, Kashmore (SRSO), and Jamshoro (TRDP) districts of Sindh.
The objective of the project is to save the flood-affected children from the trauma and hardships caused due to displacements during floods and protect them from abuse, child labor, ignorance, and exploitation.
The philosophy of the project is to make interventions in entertainment, education, and provision of basic needs focus on safety and security and keep them engaged in recreational and constructive activities.
The four major areas of intervention were:

  • strengthening existing child protection mechanisms;
  • ensuring all children are in adequate care arrangements;
  • enabling communities to identify child and women concerns and take appropriate measures;
  • and providing safe, free and confidential psychosocial support.

The activities of the project include the establishment of Child Facilitation Spaces, organizing child protection committees to address the social issues and incidents occurring due to the disastrous situation, and creating awareness among the community to protect and nourish the children for a healthy future.
The project also included the distribution of food and non-food items like Lanterns, Torches, Battery Cells, Buckets, Cooking pots, Shoes, Empty bags, Parachute bags, Shawls, Recreational kits, mattresses, and bed sheets, and for the winter season, the distribution was made of sweaters, blankets, clothes, socks, and boots all included, among registered children, women, and families.
