Notes

PROJECT SUPPORTED:

The Project Support Psycho-social will be realized by STADL in partnership with SAVE THE CHILDREN in order to ameliorate the well-being of the children by offering a psycho-social support in a well-known environment called “Friendly Space for Children”.

This program will include newborn to 17 year-old children of our community and the surrounding areas who have been traumatized or have a psychological need after the event of January 12th, 2010. In effect, according to analysis done by the local government and the civil society, which we are a part of, we have come to understand that the impact of the trauma might cause mental retardation for the children mentioned above and the general population as a whole.

Therefore, such a project can play an important role in the Haitian community to identify and address concerns about child protection. This is why we will establish a whole field of activity over a period of sixty (60) days for 4 hours from Monday to Friday with them. For example, we will have activities such as: Creative, imaginative, physical, communicative and manipulative that will allow them to grow, learn, play, become strong and resilient.

In addition, it will also enable many people to find an income generating activity by participating in the project. It is in this context that we manage to write this project for a period of three (3) months, in order for us to contribute and make a difference in the collective construction and psycho-social development of the children and Haitian youth, as a way to address the mental health issues that will be with us for years to come.
