Resume

In Gawilan camp, many NGOs and concerned Government departments strive to establish and create the required services for children and youth. In order to fill this gap in protection of children and youth, the proposed project will; 1) establish and operate a Child/Youth Friendly space (C/YFS) in Gawilan camp that will provide the traditional C/YFS services during working hours; 2) provide a C/YFS that will be available as a protected/managed centre for the children and youth during non-working hours, i.e. afternoons and evenings, weekends and public holiday, 3) distribute winter clothes to the children and youth of the camp; and 4) provide employment and training opportunities for those adults working at the centre who will be selected from within the camp.
