2015 CD121 Protection of Children in Northern South Kivu

Peace treaties to try and halt the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) may have been signed - but children continue to suffer from the sporadic violent unrest between the Congolese army and rebel militias in the east of the country. This project improves the protection of children by creating safe and effective systems in the communities, where parents, teachers, leaders and local organisations join hands to stand up for childrens rights. By providing psychosocial and educational support for children, they improve their life skills and also learn to express themselves to adults and society. Art, media and other creative tools play an important role in this process.
