Access to Sport - Children with disabilities - Conflict victims - Gender Equality - Personal developmentContext
After nine years of conflict, more than 60% of its population depends on vital humanitarian aid. People are forced to flee, sometimes far from friends and family. As many as 4.4 million people, including 1.8 million children, live in displacement camps all over the country. Life in these camps is marked by extreme distress and precariousness, which has a negative impact on well-being and mental health, especially of children who are the most vulnerable.
Project goals
Improving and preserving the well-being and mental health of children living in two displacement camps, through sport and play activities.
Project content
- Improving playing areas for children aged 0 to 6. We run sessions focused on mother-child interactions through activities, and develop positive parenting and stress management to provide caregivers with the tools and knowledge to stimulate early child development.
- Establishing and running sports and recreational activities for children aged 7 to 13 to promote psychosocial well-being, a sense of security, and social cohesion.
- Handing the management of the places and activities over to trained community leaders and facilitators to enable play areas to continue after the project ends.
