Emergency response to meet the basic WASH and CP needs of conflict-affected families and vulnerable children in areas of Donetsk oblast beyond the control of the Government of Ukraine ltpgt
ltdivgtltpgtltspangtWar in Ukraine have left at least 17.7m people
in need including 2.5m only in Donestka Oblast. The unavailability of
services, exposure to explosive remnants of war (ERWs), presence of armed
personnel and war itself, has left thousands of people, particularly women,
girls and boys, at risk of protection and sexual and gender based violence (SGBV)
risks, as well as in need of protective services and GBV prevention and
response. Furthermore, the war has exacerbated pre-existing intersectional
inequalities related to gender, income, age and disabilities. As war continues,
needs for child appropriate psycho-social support (PSS) will continue to
increase, as childcare infrastructure, increased women’s care burden and
declining access to income-generating activities worsen. Every single child in
these areas is facing extreme loss, anxiety, and uncertainty, with the lack of
qualified personnel for protective service exacerbating difficulties with
accessing provisions of basic services. In addition, damage to infrastructure
has severely impacted access to water in areas beyond the control of the GoU
with increased risks of waterborne diseases seen with newly created wells not providing
enough water of high quality to meet the needs of affected communities.
Constant disruptions of energy supply and heating as well as difficulties with accessing
basic hygiene and NFI's adds to health risks for children and families.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltbrgtltspangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtAs a response, SC in alliance with the local partner Donbass
Development Center (DC) seeks that war affected girls, boys, women and men
access an integrated package of Emergency WASH and Child protection lifesaving
services to mitigate the effects of violence in Ukraine. lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtTo increase access to safe drinking water for vulnerable displaced
families, SC and DC will provide repairments, maintenance and upgrades to water
supply and heating systems in schools, health facilities and social
institutions - both in rural and urban areas. In addition, water tanks will be distributed
and installed in social and educational institutions, to store water and
facilitate access to vulnerable host communities. Moreover, it will facilitate
the use of water treatment equipment such as small capacity generators, pumps
and mobile water treatment units depending on the need of communities.lt/spangtltspangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt

ltspangtTo enhance the provision of services to boys, girls and children with
disabilities and their families, SC and DC will provide PSS and protection
response, with the establishment of a Child Friendly Space (CFS) for children
to engage in semi-structured recreational and playful activities that are age,
gender and disability appropriate. Children that are not able to participate in
the CFS activities will be provided with individual PSS kits. SC will also develop
relevant trainings on gender equality, child safeguarding and safe programming
activities for the local partner DC. For specific cases of children with
disabilities, SC and DC will deliver aid appliances depending on each child’s
need, as well as adequate support for them to be included in CFS activities of
the project.lt/spangtlt/pgtlt/divgtltpgtltbrgtlt/pgtlt/pgt
