In September, the Blue Cross Chad organized various activities for its youth. There were two camps during this period. One to train peer educators and the other a youth camp, discussing topics like addiction, gender-based violence, HIV, combined with lots of fun and games.
The Peer Education-approach describes the training of youth coaches who transmit acquired life skills amongst their peers for which they receive specific training. They develop social competencies such as communication skills, self-awareness and analytical thinking, and promote problem-solving and conflict management. Thereby they encourage their peers to develop sustainable healthy behavioural patterns.
There were also two trainings for 44 girls each on gender, with the aim that the young girls get to know their value and their rights and can ask questions that interest them in a protected environment.
A special highlight in September was a cooperation project with Burkina Faso. The Blue Cross Chad and Burkina Faso jointly worked out guidelines on the topic "Prevention of social abuse of minors and protection of children in conflict situations". This cooperation is to shape the work in the countries and the entire region in which Blue Cross is active.
With your donation, great activities can also be implemented in the coming months to save the youth in Chad from drifting into addiction. Thank you very much!
