Support earthquake-affected families displaced in underserved rural areas through Child Protection and MHPSS activities. ltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan lang="EN-US"gtTerre des hommes Foundation – Switzerland (Tdh)
proposes a six-month intervention to deliver Child Protection services directly
to 5120 men, women, boys and girls in communities affected by the devastating
earthquake in Jabryion and Qteilbiyyeh sub-districts in Lattakia Governorate. The
project will contribute to the Child Protection sub-cluster’s objective of
providing emergency Child Protection (CP) interventions to boys and girls
affected by the emergency by delivering level 1-3 mental health and
psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions as well as strengthening the
capacities of Community-Based Child Protection Committees.lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan lang="EN-US"gtThe proposed action responds to the assessed CP
and MHPSS needs identified in each location, caused mainly by the traumatic
experience and displacement due to the earthquake. The proposed intervention
aims to contribute to the children’s well-being through MHPSS activities and
provide their parents with positive parenting techniques and recreational
materials to reduce emotional stress on children. lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan lang="EN-US"gtThe action is aligned with Priority #1 of SHF's
reserved allocation strategy:  Scaling up
the humanitarian response and provision of lifesaving health services,
protection assistance, water, sanitation and hygiene support, and shelter
assistance to earthquake-affected people, as well as addressing nutrition,
food, and education needs in critically underfunded areas.  lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan lang="EN-US"gtThe action will complement the existing Tdh
earthquake response activities funded by Swiss Solidarity (CdB) (phase I) and with
expected continuation through phase II. These two interventions focus on school
rehabilitation, WaSH activities, and case management. The Child Protection and
MHPSS activities proposed under the SHF proposal will complement the activities
in the same localities. It will especially complement the collaboration with
the local partner Mosaic and their case management component,t including the
support program for unaccompanied and separated children. Tdh teams will also
establish active referrals to cash assistance and health services for families
with children with disabilities and special needs to other actors present in rural
areas in Lattakia.lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan lang="EN-US"gtThe inclusion of people with disabilities will
be mainstreamed across the project, and all provided services will be designed
to maximize their accessibility for adults and children with disabilities.
Particularly in the project design and evaluation stage, people with
disabilities and other vulnerable groups will be consulted to ensure their
feedback will be integrated into ongoing and future earthquake programs.lt/spangtlt/pgt
