F.a: Children Empowered, Protected and Prepared The project improves the preparedness of children to protect themselves from abuse, negligence, exploitation and violence in disaster situations and preparedness of communities to protect children in similar situations in Northern Mouhoun, North Central an
d Sahel regions and in an urban district in Dapoya. Burkina Faso is a disaster prone country. Children are exposed to many forms of exploitation such as worst forms of labor, physical and sexual abuses and early marriages. The access to child protection se
rvices is almost impossible at the local level. Due to this project, children affected by disasters will be better protected from abuse, neglect exploitation and violence. The project improves adults’ ability to identify child protection related risks an
d issues in their communities and children demonstrate better personal and social life skills in order to protect themselves. The beneficiaries of this project are the most vulnerable children and their families. Burkina Faso Country Office, Association Sa
