Education and protection for children in Iraq

Session du programme de résilience des enfants au centre Siderah, Shirqat

TGH is implementing an education and child protection project in Iraq. The project is supported by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Civil Protection and European Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), in partnership with Terre des Hommes Italy.

 

It aims to protect and integrate marginalized and at-risk children, including those associated with armed groups, victims of violence, working children and out-of-school children, by providing services such as case management, psychological support and education.

In July 2024, TGH launched an awareness-raising campaign on education and children’s rights in the villages of Siderah and Filitah, while continuing to refer at-risk children to specialized services.

 

TGH teams worked with local authorities to ensure support for vulnerable areas and initiated non-formal education activities in Shirqat’s community centers. They also led a campaign to enroll out-of-school children and those at risk of dropping out.
