CHILD EMPOWERMENT

 Empowering Children    – Empowerment

The convention of child rights, and the laws of child protection  are  vital  factors of any nation  and UN agencies have highlighted the importance of  safe living of the children  worldwide, but in reality it is notable that the situation  of a segment of children is not falling under the convention.

The problems faced by children

In line with the UN Convention, RAHAMA   within it’s  operational area in Sri Lanka could start series of activities to secure the rights of  children since their living had affected negatively due to   several   root causes.  Most of the families  complain about the inadequacy of  income   that affect the children, despite the fact that varied   NGOs,   and government agencies  had taken  conspicuous effort  to improve the conditions of the low  income families.

Out of several reasons affecting  school drop outs,  one  issue  is the eagerness of children to go for income earning avenues without continuing education. Reasons affected therein  are partly due to the demand for  labour   and partly because of the income poverty.    These kind of labour involvement is also bringing other dangers too,   such as possible exposure  for  ADAT.

In this article RAHAMA attempts  to state in brief it’s involvement on several actions initiated with the intervention of Government authorities and the civil society agencies in the Northern districts on the right based approach for the betterment of children.

When the standard of Pre school education added with ECD is concerned, the relevant Departments had taken steady actions within the post-war setting to implement preschools. Still certain pre schools in rural areas are either not functioning or operating with lesser number of kids  limited facilities,  moderate academic skills of pre school teachers,   insufficient involvement of  parents’ societies are some of the problems affecting for meagre level of operation.    RAHAMA has launched series of solutions  with the intervention of DSs, Provincial councils, Civil Army, Institution of Higher education and the Parental societies, as stated below.

  • Provision of moderate levels of  services to build or to renovate PS buildings, with equipment, electricity supply,  Formation of self help groups of mothers to assists PS teachers and to recommence non-functional pre schools.
  • To arrange certificate causes on ECD for  teachers of Pre schools, through the Deportment of Higher education and the authority of child protection.
  • To guide children to be away from the menace of ADAT, while enhancing their access for sports and entertainments.
  • Assist children to establish Children’s Co-operatives, in collaboration with school principles and the staff of the district Co-operatives.
  • Organize annual events of ‘World Children’s Day celebrations.
  • Action initiated with Government  officials enabled 175 School dropouts to recommence education  ensuring regular attendance Revitalization of parents, teachers and school development associations was one other outcome.
  • Endeavoured community strength so as to formulate Child Resource Development Centres (CRDC) in villages as models  with the membership of 803 children. Child Rights action groups are formed in few   areas  to enable children to spend their time after schools in a protective and useful manner. At least one mobile library could be started in one location to facilitate improved reading habits of children.

Children /kids and parents are highly praiseworthy  and admired on the financial and other assistance made available by RAHAMA, and the Institutes of Government,  from several Norwegian schools,   NORAD  and FORUT  to proceed with above actions.

About Us

FORUT Norway, a leading Humanitarian Action agency decided to discontinue it’s direct implementation in 2010 after a long duration of services in Sri Lanka. One of the imperative reasons for the said withdrawal was to empower partner institutions to link with other prospects too while operating as autonomous entities. Secondly, since Sri Lankan population had entered into a new epoch under the post war era, after local capacities could be utilised to implement projects on humanitarian action.
