For the past two days, we successfully conducted engagement sessions with sports coaches, team managers, young players, and other key stakeholders involved in the project.

The camp management was also represented, ensuring that all voices were heard and that participation was inclusive. Teams actively joined the discussions from their respective places of residence, demonstrating their commitment to the project's goals and future success.

These sessions provided a valuable opportunity to share ideas, strengthen collaboration, and build a common vision for empowering young athletes and enhancing sports development within our communities.

We appreciate the dedication and contributions of everyone who participated and look forward to the positive impact that will result from these collective efforts.

The training brought together community leaders, educators, healthcare providers, and participants from the community to discuss mental health issues among refugees with disabilities and effective support strategies. We are grateful to everyone who participated, contributed ideas, and showed commitment toward building a supportive and inclusive community for all.

💙🌍 Supporting Children with Disabilities with Love and Care 🌍💙
Sefu Dunia, a child with disability, together with Chantal as assistant, continues to bring hope and support to 25 children with disabilities through acts of kindness and compassion. ❤️♿
Each child received essential support including:

This initiative is more than giving food and supplies — it is about restoring dignity, spreading love, and reminding every child that they are valued and important in our community. 🌟

A day of compassion and solidarity

During our recent outreach activity, we distributed essential products to children living with disabilities. Many families face difficulties accessing basic necessities, and this initiative aimed to provide meaningful support.

Among the items distributed were soap, cereal, and other basic products that help support the daily well being of these children.
Every small gesture counts. By coming together as a community, we can help improve the lives of children who deserve care, dignity, and equal opportunities.

How can communities do more to support children with disabilities? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
