When children are given the opportunity to lead, entire communities benefit.

Across Kiambu, Gatundu North, and Gatundu South, 931 children are actively shaping safer schools through child led clubs, psychosocial support, and child protection initiatives. To date, the project has directly reached 1,433 people, strengthening child protection systems and creating safer environments where children can learn, thrive, and participate.

This impact was witnessed by representatives from the ECOM Agroindustrial Corp. Ltd. and ECOM FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ORIGIN RESOURCES during their visit to Tdh's operations in Kiambu, where they met children, teachers, and project teams and saw firsthand how the initiative is transforming lives.

Implemented by Tdh in partnership with the Ministry of Education and with funding from the ECOM Foundation, the project is empowering children to become champions of child protection and positive change in their communities.

Impact is best measured through the people whose lives are being changed.

Tdh welcomed the UNICEF Kenya team for a monitoring visit under the Kenya Humanitarian Fund (KHF) funded project. From meaningful conversations with children, caregivers, adolescent mothers, police officers, and Child Protection Volunteers to seeing services in action, the visit was an opportunity to reflect on the progress made and the difference the project is making in communities.

We are encouraged by the positive feedback received and remain committed to learning, improving, and ensuring every child receives the care, protection, and support they deserve.

Supported by the Kenya Humanitarian Fund and in partnership with UNICEF Kenya, Tdh is providing immediate individual, group, and family-based support to unaccompanied and separated children and other vulnerable children across Dadaab Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement.

Through play, children can build the skills they need to cope with stress, strengthen relationships, and improve their emotional well-being.

Our psychosocial support team in Ifo 2 in Dadaab Refugee Camp facilitated a session with 25 children using Take 5, a series of simple, structured, play-based activities that help children manage stress, regulate their emotions, build resilience, and develop positive social connections.

During the session, children took part in the Blindfold Cone Challenge, where one child was blindfolded while teammates guided them with verbal instructions to place a cone inside a marked circle. The activity encouraged trust, listening, communication, concentration, and teamwork. They also participated in a circle team-building energizer which is a fun group activity involving coordinated movement and games that promoted confidence, cooperation, inclusion, and positive peer interaction.

Take 5 is an evidence-based approach which equips non-clinical frontline workers with practical, play-based tools to support children's mental health and psychosocial well-being. Our psychosocial support staff were trained by UNICEF Kenya to deliver these sessions, creating safe and engaging spaces where children can learn healthy coping skills while simply being children.

This work is made possible with the support of European Union Humanitarian Aid and in partnership with the Refugee Protection Consortium.

Guess who visited us today?🤗

We had the pleasure of welcoming representatives from the ECOM Agroindustrial Corp. Ltd. and ECOM FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ORIGIN RESOURCES to Kiambu where they met our team, visited some of our partner schools, and, most importantly, spent time with the children.

From listening to members of our child-led clubs share their experiences to seeing children confidently speak up, lead discussions, and showcase what they have learnt, the visit was a reminder that real change is best measured through the voices of children themselves.

With the support of the ECOM Foundation for Development of Origin Resources and the Ministry Of Education, Kenya (MOE), children across Kiambu, Gatundu South, and Gatundu North are growing up in safer school environments, strengthening child protection, promoting positive wellbeing, and championing healthy WASH practices.

Thank you for walking this journey with us and for believing in a future where every child is safe, empowered, and heard!🧡

Today, our board members visited the Tdh Kenya office for a day of connection, dialogue, and shared purpose. From a tour of our workspace to meaningful conversations with staff, the visit offered our board a closer look at the work happening on the ground to protect and support children across Kenya.

Our team presented an overview of Tdh's global reach and Kenya's programming, spanning child protection, health, education, and access to justice, along with our priorities and plans looking ahead.

We are grateful to our board for the continued commitment to children's rights and to Tdh's mission.

Through Child-Led Protection Clubs in Kiambu County, children are learning about their rights, recognizing risks, speaking up against abuse, and becoming champions for safer schools and communities.

Guided by trained Tdh staff, these clubs are creating spaces where children can learn, lead, and protect one another.

We are grateful to ECOM Agroindustrial Corp. Ltd. through the ECOM FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ORIGIN RESOURCES for making this work possible and to the Ministry Of Education, Kenya (MOE) for their invaluable partnership in strengthening child protection within schools.

Every child deserves to grow up safe, heard, and protected. When we equip children with knowledge, we empower them to shape a future free from violence, exploitation, and child labour.

When Shantal arrived in Kalobeyei in 2023, she carried more than her own four children. She had also taken in 13-year-old Stephen after his mother, her close friend, passed away, determined that he would not face the world alone.

Starting over wasn't easy.

With support from the Kingdom of the Netherlands and UNICEF Kenya, Tdh provided Shantal with KES 9,000 a month for three months. She used the first payment to buy food and other essentials for her family. When the second payment came, she invested KES 5,000 in raw materials for her handwoven basket business.

Today, she opens her shop every morning in Kalobeyei's Village 1, weaving baskets and bags by hand that help her provide for her five children.

"I cannot go a day without receiving money," she says. "Even if it is just KES 200."

Sometimes, a little support at the right time can help someone build a future of their own.
