Relevant background information
Prior to 1991 Save the Children (UK and US) conducted training for Afghan refugee groups as part of their Child Focused Health Education programme. In 1999, SCF UK Afghanistan conducted Training of Trainers events using Child-to-Child approaches in collaboration with Save the Children USA, Save the Children Sweden and the Aga Khan University in Pakistan. The participating children lived in refugee camps, local villages, as well as rural areas and urban slums in Afghanistan. The children were of primary school age and 50% were girls. Child-to-Child activities were introduced in the classroom and in health groups through the use of stories, question-and-answer sessions, role-plays, games and puppet shows. The Child-to-Child Resource Books Parts 1 and 2 were translated into Pashto and Dari and adapted to suit the local context.
