CHILD-TO-CHILD ACTIVITIES  

Child to Child activities began in 1995. The School Teachers organize and jointly implement with health workers. The number of children participating depends on the number of activities – sometimes all school children and sometimes some of the school children participate in both formal and informal activities. Refugee children and both males and females participate.

The main purpose is to:

• Promote active learning in classroom situation.
• Reduce effect of prevailing diseases on vulnerable refugees – particularly children and women through sanitation campaigns.
• Promote inclusive education.
• Introduce children to the importance of their survival, development, protection, and health promotion.
• To minimize risks of HIV/ AID on youth through raising awareness in the media, newsletters, lectures (workshops), meetings, poster productions, and religions preaching.

Children’s Participation

Activities are introduced through classroom teaching, morning assemblies (children), meetings, workshops, drama, and in mosque preaching on personal hygiene and community sanitation. We are using six steps for preparing activity sheets.

HEALTH IN AND OUT OF SCHOOL

Parents and community members are involved in mobilization. Planning and action on health problems happens in the community.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF CHILD-TO-CHILD ACTIVITIES

When action is taken smoothly and properly with full participation, teachers, health workers, parents and other association the impact is on reducing infant and child mortality.

TRAINING ACTIVITIES

Teachers, children, health workers were given training by Yemen Child–to-Child Association and the Child-to-Child Trust trainers.
