With financial support from Kindernothilfe (KNH), CHADET-Ethiopia continued to implement the Promoting Safeguarding of Children (PSC) Project in six target kebeles of Woliso Woreda of central Oromia: Dembel Ketta, Wollu Soma, Chirecha Wanbari, Abadho Leman, Birbirsa Kenetero, and Sodo Garbo.
The project adopts an integrated approach to strengthening child protection by engaging schools, families, and communities while addressing household economic challenges that can contribute to child vulnerability, including child labor and barriers to education.
A total of 150 women received business skills and chicken management training to strengthen their capacity to engage in income-generating activities. Each woman was provided with 15 chickens and different types of seeds to support household nutrition and income generation. These interventions aim to strengthen household livelihoods, improve food security, and enhance families’ capacity to meet their children’s basic needs, including nutrition and educational expenses.
