CHILDRENS
CORNER
Objective: To provide safe, supportive spaces that promote child protection, mental health and psychologocal wellbeing for vulnerable children.
DIN Malawi provides a safe space for more than 110 children aged 6 to 18. In addition to games, balls, skipping ropes, and other recreational activities, the children also take part in awareness sessions where they learn about child abuse, neglect, and the appropriate reporting mechanisms.They receive Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) through structured play therapy, group counseling for trauma-affected children, and referrals to health facilities when necessary.Through our age-appropriate sessions on topics such as climate change, hygiene and sanitation, and HIV stigma reduction, we aim to achieve outcomes including improved mental wellbeing, reduced exposure to abuse, and enhanced social and emotional development.
