Their laugh makes us keep going



Getting access to essential and proper nutrition for children is one of the biggest health challenges in NES, as malnourished children are more vulnerable comparing to their peers so they are at more risk to get sick.
According to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) more than 232 million children worldwide are suffering from malnutrition, which is the main reason to nearly half of children deaths under 5.
Children nutrition and the care of pregnant woman and newborns program is a key priority in providing secondary and primary health care, which is through package of services like providing health care for the mothers during pregnancy and after giving birth, health awareness about natural birth, breastfeeding, regular checking, obstetrics, providing food, needed medicine and supplements especially in the camps.
Malak and her mother is one of hundreds of success stories that we achieved in our medical and ambulance centers, as our aim is always getting the best level of health for both women and children in all NES
In response to the difficult conditions experienced by displaced people from “Sere Kaniye” in “Washokani” camp, especially in winter, KRC teams distributed more than 2,300 pieces of winter clothes for the children.
The distribution that included jackets and home clothing, targeted schoolchildren between the ages of 6 and 18 years.
Children are our main goal in all our projects. So, we did our best to feature the International Children’s Day. Therefore, we had a research, at the Office of Protection in cooperation with the Committee of the Protection of children of North-East Syria, on the situation of children in the “Washukani” displaced camp, where people got displaced from the city of Sri Kanye more than a year ago. It was our pleasure to open a “child-friendly space” focusing on children more and following up on their mental health targeting pre-school ages.
This area named after “Mohammed” and “Sarah” to embody all children affected by the war. Children of the camp, and some KRC members besides Committee for the Protection of the Child, participated this event which included a series of amusement activities in which the children expressed their joy and gratitude.
Our protection team completed their first part of Child Protection House project in the cities of Rumelan and Kobani. The project that started about a year ago included “Child Protection Programs – Psychological Support Programs (individual and group) – Flexibility sessions – Life skills and positive discipline in addition to special training for psychological counselors and educators about Positive parenting and how to deal with children is part of our child protection policy.
It was a very good experience, as it contributed to developing the capabilities of the centers, supporting the children and helping them to express themselves and develop their talents.
Within the simple presence because of Covid 19, the project concluded through an exhibition included manual works, drawings and recycling during project period.
Some scholars call our era “an anxiety era” especially in the current reality, the presence of a psychiatric clinic within Washokani camp was one of the necessities for the displaced people in order to help them to understand their reality, adapt with the new reality and keep their psychological balance. Because the psychological health is very important for the individual in understanding him/herself , the ability to agree with him/herself and with others and face the difficulties of life smoothly and safely.
People who suffer of troubles in their psychological life face many problems like: stress, depression, anxiety, problems in getting relationships with others, sadness, lack in the attention, hyperactivity, difficulties in learning, insecurity and mood disturbance especially those who have psychological trauma during wars and disasters.
Psychotherapists within the psychiatric clinic of the Kurdish Red Crescent are seeking to best potential to improve psychological health and overcome its problems in various ways, such as treatment sessions or psychological consultations, which are transferred directly or by our medical clinics.
