🤝 Building Safer Communities Through Collaboration

APA and CVM recently brought together Community Justice Facilitators (CJFs) and key stakeholders in Bagamoyo District, Tanzania, for a training focused on preventing and responding to violence against children, women and domestic workers.

The training strengthened collaboration and explored ways to protect children from abuse, promote their right to education, and ensure that everyone can access the support and protection they deserve. 💙

✨ Together, we can build safer communities where everyone can live free from violence and enjoy their fundamental rights.

💙 Don’t let hardships destroy your future.

Yabsira is 15 and lives in Ethiopia. Despite financial hardship and domestic responsibilities, she dreams of becoming a doctor and helping people in her community. 🩺

With support from APA and CVM, she received essential school supplies, enabling her to attend classes from day one. She also participated in Life Skills and Peer Education training, which supported her personal growth.

📚 Through education, rights awareness and trafficking prevention, APA and CVM help adolescents like Yabsira gain the skills and confidence to shape their futures.

✨ Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, dream and thrive.

💜 International Day of the Girl Child – Invest in Girls, Invest in the Future

Celebrated every year on 11 October, the International Day of the Girl Child is a global moment to celebrate girls everywhere and stand up for their rights.

Girls and women represent half of the world's population — and half of its potential. Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but also essential to building peaceful, inclusive societies. Investing in girls' education, safety and opportunities is both the right thing to do and an investment in a better future for everyone. ✨

At APA and CVM, we work to protect children from violence and exploitation and ensure they can access education and grow up in safe environments.

📚 In Ethiopia, our STREAM project supports 400 children who have experienced life on the streets, helping them access education and supporting family reunification.

🤝 In Tanzania, we work with local partners to prevent child domestic work and help children return to education.

In Bagamoyo, Tanzania, we recently brought together community leaders, educators, social welfare officers and young domestic workers for a workshop on child protection, violence prevention and human trafficking.
💜 When girls are protected, educated and empowered, their whole communities benefit. Let's work together to ensure every girl has the opportunity to reach her full potential.

Budget 2027 🇨🇮
"Continued commitment matters, but so does continued progress" 🌍

●APA welcomes Ireland’s continued commitment to international development and the announcement of €855 million for International Cooperation in 2027.

●At a time of growing global instability, humanitarian need and pressure on aid budgets internationally, Ireland’s commitment to development cooperation matters. It reflects a wider tradition of solidarity, partnership, human rights and international cooperation, and contributes to Ireland’s reputation as a principled and trusted international partner.

●That commitment is also visible in specific areas of development cooperation. In September, Ireland pledged €40 million to the Global Partnership for Education for 2026-2030, supporting efforts to improve learning outcomes and build more inclusive and resilient education systems in lower-income countries. These are welcome commitments.

●But continued commitment must also mean continued progress. Ireland has committed to working towards spending 0.7% of GNI on Official Development Assistance. Long-term, predictable development funding allows organisations and communities to plan, build capacity and address the underlying causes of poverty and inequality.

●It supports our work with domestic workers, street-connected children and other marginalised groups in Ethiopia and Tanzania, helping people access their rights, education, livelihoods and basic services through locally rooted partnerships.

●Ireland has shown that a small country can exercise influence through cooperation, credibility and solidarity. APA believes that this leadership should continue to be matched by the resources needed to sustain it.
