The programme provides fun, evidence-based, skills-based safety games and activities for children in Primary 3 to 6 to improve their self-protection skills. The aim is to prevent children's minds from going blank during disasters and accidents, and to ensure they do not miss the golden window of time to save themselves and escape.
In China, over 10 million children aged 0 to 17 experience unintentional injuries annually. Shockingly, more than 60,000 of these injuries result in death, with 80% of them being preventable. Education is the key preventive measure. Currently, our safety education has three main characteristics: constant indoctrination and emphatic management, outdated content, and a lack of competence training.
To enhance emergency response training in a hands-on and experiential way, six games and activities have been designed. These include rope work, jack rescue, blanket stretcher, furniture tipping prevention, the Heimlich method, and the use of an AED. The aim is to refine and summarise key safety messages in everyday language.
The project aims to equip 50,000 children with evidence-based safety education activities that will help them protect themselves both at school and outside their homes! So far, we have conducted 118,200 safety education lessons and 2,904 activities in 5,466 schools and 679 communities, enabling 3,794,753 children to enhance their self-protection skills!
The Government of People’s Republic of China has implemented new regulations for foreign NGOs operating in China. GlobalGiving must receive Government approval before we can disburse funds to organizations registered in Mainland China. This means that the disbursement of your donation to this project may be slightly delayed while we obtain the appropriate approval.
