Conflicts and natural disasters significantly impact
on children’s psycho social well-being and development. Exposure to violence,
disaster, loss of or separation from family members and friends,
deterioration in living conditions, inability to provide for one’s self and
family, and lack of access to services can all have immediate and long-term
consequences for children, families and communities and impair their ability to
function and be fulfilled.
RIC-NET with support from Global Fund for Children(GFC) conducts psycho social support sessions and mentor ship for conflict affected in and out of
school young girls to help them recover from traumatic events that they experienced.
