Description:
This project aimed to enhance child rights awareness and family consultancy through training programs for teachers, students, and parents in five provinces of Afghanistan: Balkh, Sar-e-Pul, Takhar, Kunduz, and Badakhshan. It involved training of trainers (ToT) programs, workshops for schools, and the development of manuals and materials. Direct beneficiaries included teachers, students, and parents, totaling 10,100 individuals, with indirect benefits reaching 50,500 people.
Achievements:
The "Child Right Awareness and Family Consultancy" project achieved significant milestones in advancing child rights awareness and family engagement in Afghanistan. Through its Training of Trainers (ToT) programs, 100 teachers across five provinces—Balkh, Sar-e-Pul, Takhar, Kunduz, and Badakhshan—were equipped with the knowledge and skills to conduct awareness workshops. These trained teachers reached 6,000 students, 2,000 additional teachers, and 2,000 parents' committee members, spreading critical information about child rights conventions and family consultancy practices. In total, 10,100 individuals directly benefited from the program, with an estimated 50,500 people receiving indirect benefits. The project not only improved participants' understanding of child rights but also strengthened advocacy and awareness efforts within schools and communities, paving the way for a more informed and empowered society.
Impact:
The program created significant awareness about child rights conventions among teachers, students, and parents. It improved legal and social knowledge regarding child rights and contributed to a more informed and empowered community capable of advocating for children's rights. The positive feedback from participants emphasized the program's success and recommended its continuation and expansion.
