Through the project ARISE (Appropriate Resources for Improving Street Children's Environment), UNICEF provides a path of social reintegration for children living in the streets of the main cities of Bangladesh, by means of informal education and vocational training, mainly carried out in schools Centres where children are temporarily housed in schools or outdoors.
The goal is to promote the school reintegration of younger children and the start of the biggest activities decent working and not at risk.
The interventions are concentrated in cities where there is a greater presence of street children, especially the capital Dhaka and other urban centers such as Chittagong district and Baribal.
The primary beneficiaries of the project are 3,500 street children between 6 and 18 years, were selected from among those at highest risk.
Specific interventions include:
Support for formal education programs, implemented through centers for street children and school activities outdoors, focusing on teaching adapted to the specific needs of street children.
Educational programs include the so-called life skills (practical information and skills needed to prevent the risk of street life) methodologies using peer to peer, that is based on the transmission of knowledge among peers.
Reintegration of younger children in the school circuit and formal classification of the largest (12-18 years) in training at work (crafts, sewing, agriculture and farming, mechanics, carpentry, etc..) To provide them with alternative sources of income that them to shun jobs at risk.
Some children will be given a professional kit or starting a micro-credit to promote the work of their own.
Psychological care for trauma in the street.
Among the methods used are expected to role play and recreational activities for the simplest cases, while more serious cases will be directed to experts or specialized facilities.
Medical care, HIV / AIDS prevention, food assistance, legal support of registration and temporary reception centers for street children in - transit centers, other than orphanages - with a view to their reintegration into the family and / or community.
Awareness campaigns in the communities to counter the phenomena of violence and discrimination against street children.
Cooperation with NGO partners and public institutions will contribute to enhancing the capacity to intervene and ensure the sustainability of the results achieved by the project.
What will we do to help
Will set up a group exhibition that will directly involve all participating artists, which will give them a painting that will be put on sale with a minimum bid, much lower than the real value of the painting, to allow collectors, art lovers and individual citizens , present at the event, to win, one of the works in the catalog, certainly of great value.
