Along with our economic development, it is essential to give attention to our children and our young generation in order to build them with higher intellect and better mental set up so that they become better citizens of the country. With this end in vies, IDF, in collaboration with PKSF, had been implementing an Adolescent Program since the year 2019. The target group with whom this program was being implemented covered the Kishores and kishorees of the age group of 10 to 19 years living in the project’s rural and urban areas. For convenience of working with this target population small groups were formed separately as kishorees club and kishores club.
The program has expanded to include 52 clubs and 23 forums across 4 clusters in Rangamati and Bandarban, engaging over 2,000 adolescents. Thousands of girls have participated in a wide range of activities focused on social awareness, livelihood skills, health and nutrition, along with cultural, sports, leadership, and ethical development workshops. Additionally, IDF, with PKSF, has been working in Chittagong, Bandarban, and Rangamati to prevent social degradation and promote clean environments through cultural and sports initiatives. A “Sexual Harassment Prevention and Sanitation Program” is also being implemented with Satkania Municipality to ensure a safe and respectful society for women.
