Starting date: Tuesday, September 22, 2020

To raise awareness about children’s rights, life skills, and child health, Help has launched a program called “Providing face-to-face, psychological, and social counseling program for 2300 deprived and vulnerable children” 

these children are busy doing hard works at kilns.

The program seeks to alleviate some of the stress and psychological damages from children working in kilns, and they are encouraged by trainers to continue their education and start or resume their lessons at school.

In order to properly convey the messages intended for this program, only 30 children participate in each course, which is held for two hours a day.

The purpose of this program is to protect extremely vulnerable and working children, and efforts have been made to reduce their suffering.

It should be noted that in this program, a package of hygiene products, which includes shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, washing liquid, and mask, is provided for each child.

So far, the program has been well received and welcomed by children and their families.

It is worth of mentioning that recently, Help in Afghanistan has launched a project from the United Nations International Children Fund (UNICEF) entitled “Supporting Vulnerable Children by Providing Humanitarian Child Protection Services in Herat, Ghor, and Farah Provinces through Media Awareness, Psycho-social Counseling to the children, their families, religious leaders and society against violence, abuse, exploitation, and negative dealing mechanisms.” This project is scheduled to be implemented during the next 10 months from June 21, 2020, to April 21, 2021, the main purpose of which is to protect children against neglecting, abusing, mistreatment as well as child care and its side effects.
