Empowering children and youth movement
In partnership with Community Based Drug and Alcohol Control (CLANPO), we are implementing ”Empowering children and youth movement” project in Thailand that aims to empower ethnic communities and networks, particularly marginalized groups such as women and children. The project focuses on community empowerment and participation to address issues related to alcohol and drug abuse, gender inequality, and child rights.
Over the next five years, the project will target four villages in Pang Ma Pha district, including Sobpong village of Shan, Wanaluang village of Red Lahu, Nong Tong village of Lisu, and Pang Kam Noi village of Black Lahu. The project will specifically work with boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 18, with the goal of creating a safe environment where children can thrive within their families and communities, free from the harms of alcohol and drugs.
Through this initiative, we hope to have a positive and lasting impact on the lives of young individuals in these communities, allowing them to actively participate in their own development and that of their families and communities.
