For All Our Children Fund Raising Campaign
Women and children suffer disproportionate inequality in humanitarian settings — from neglect and child labour to early marriage, gender-based violence, and being out of school. Children living in IDP camps and host communities across Borno's Local Government Areas face these same challenges, deepened by years of insurgency and communal clashes that have exposed their vulnerability.
This project is meant to provide timely and life-saving protection services for at least 5,000 children through raising awareness and building the capacity of at least 50 service providers, including duty bearers, community members and humanitarian actors, to reduce protection risks and identify and support the most vulnerable. Persons living with disabilities in IDP locations, host communities and returnee communities are also considered, with age- and gender-tailored minimum packages, positive parenting support for caregivers, and specialized mental health services in line with Child Protection Minimum Standards.
Objectives
- Provide timely, life-saving protection services to at least 5,000 children through awareness and quality mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS)
- Ensure children, including those with disabilities, have access to comprehensive case management in collaboration with the health sector
- Engage and sensitize parents and caregivers to return out-of-school children to school, in collaboration with the education sector
- Strengthen the capacity of at least 40 community-based structures and service providers to identify and support the most vulnerable children
- Strengthen local authorities' capacity to identify, promote and protect the rights of conflict-affected children
- Reduce the risk of violence and abuse through awareness-raising and improved access to civil documentation and basic services
Activities
- Trace and identify neglected and vulnerable children with no access to Education and Nutrition, linking them to appropriate authorities for Food and Shelter
