This includes repairing broken windows, doors, and furniture and cleaning up broken glass, garbage, and hazardous materials in classrooms and school compounds. Furthermore, IRC will provide necessary school furniture such as blackboards, desks, chalk, and dusters based on the respective needs assessment of the four targeted schools. ltbrgtThe project also ensures the protection and safe access to critical, integrated, inclusive essential services to the displaced population and host community members while effecting the following activities. Identification and support to children in need of CP /PSS, including Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC) and out-of-school children through case management and referral linkages, vulnerability screening, including referral to relevant services, emergency fund/cash support to address emergency cash needs to meet the needs and lifesaving supplies of newly born babies whose mothers passed away due to complicated pregnancy and/or during delivery, for purchasing medicine, and transportation cost for children with referrals into a higher hospital (into Mekelle and Axum referral Hospitals) and material support.
