TYSA WORK RECOGNISED AND GIVEN NEW MANDATE BY KACHIBORA INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS CAMP Your continue support has made great impact to the lives of children affected by post election violence at kachibora IDP.This has made the IDP management to recognised our work and asked us to coordinate more activities.
For this reason we have established SAFE SPACE PROJECT FOR CHILDREN AFFECTED BY POST ELECTION VIOLENCE IN KENYA We believe the creation of the project would address the immediate problems created by the political violence. It would enable children to meet and socialise with other young people in similar circumstances and with trained and committed volunteers who would act as positive role models, and it would give them the freedom to seek help- both emotional and educational- independently of their parents or guardians, thus empowering participants to broaden their base of social support outside their family. They would be able to explore aspects of their own culture and community and the project would give them the opportunity to develop through trying out new activities and learning some essential life skills. This will go along way in making the children and community co-exist despite their cultural and ethnic backgrounds We believe that child protection is crucial to ensuring that children under 18 years of age have the rights, confidence and environment in which they can make choices, express their views and communicate effectively with other children and adults. Children cannot become empowered change agents to improve their lives and that of their families and communities if they are not safeguarded from abuse, discrimination and harm of any kind, be it physical, sexual, emotional or neglect. We as an organization have already demonstrated the power of sports in supporting children and youths in post election violence. It is for this reason that we have be asked to coordinate sports ,recreational and child welfare activities by the Kachibora IDP management.
