Before this initiative, Kanamai was a hotspot for various forms of violence against children, as highlighted by situational analyses and baseline surveys, which demonstrated a need for preventive measures rather than just responsive actions. The objectives of the project are: –

• Strengthened Safe School Environments that enable children’s enrolment, retention and transition from primary to secondary levels of education     
• Well established separate platforms for out of school young boys and girls   as platforms for sharing experience and learning to strengthen resilience and mitigate factors that expose them to violence.
• Strengthened Parenting Skills and Practices as well as improved Spousal Relationships that enable nurturing and growth of children and young people.
• Strengthened Household Income to mitigate financially driven violence against children and adolescents.
• Well-coordinated community structures that plan, design, implement and monitor interventions that focus on prevention violence against children and young people.
