Representatives of UNICEF, Cynthia McCchefre, recently visited Assam, a state that symbolizes both beauty and struggle.
He travels from Dicom in Dibrugarh district to decom, how to look closely in the green color of the tea garden, how UNICEF programs are making concrete and positive changes in the lives of the local community.
UNICEF has prepared a broad flood control plan for the state by focusing on Assam’s growing water level and climate crisis.
In this project, preparations for protection, nutrition, health, education, social protection and water, sanitation and health (wash) have been given priority in this project. This work is being taken forward with the help of the state government.
205 tea gardens in the impact of a decade
Since the year 20 2007, UNICEF has been constantly working towards removing the initial defects in the tea garden in Assam, where the provisions of the first tree planting labor law have not been effectively implemented.
The direct impact of these efforts is visible today in the life of youth. ১ 16 -year -old Pooja proudly said, “I opened my bank account in just 15 minutes! Now I want to get scholarship and save the needy and help the needy.”
Women and women are making their own financial decisions with the partnership of UNICEF and the state of Assam Rural Livelihood Mission (ASRLM).
This initiative promotes financial inclusion in five tea districts and enables direct benefits to women directly to women during the climate disaster.
Disaster and climate education in school
The scene of Barbrua Lower Elementary School became a symbol of new awareness about children in Assam.
UNICEF’s representative Cynthia McCchefree found that 10 -year -old Binita Ghatovar and her companions were sitting in the classroom trying to engrave a warning taken in the earthquake of their minds. Then suddenly the alarm of the disaster rose – and the kids hidden under the table with the fox.
After a few moments, when the teachers confirmed that everyone was safe, the kids came out in a disciplined manner and stood in line for roll calls, keeping their bags in mind. Then a baby’s voice echo – “Don’t take shelter next to the tree!”
This scene shows that children are not only studying courses now, but also gaining practical knowledge to stay safe from disaster.
UNICEF -run climate adaptation education programs are preparing children in schools to change environmental risk.
Cynthia shared the experience and said, “I saw 193 young students who are becoming aware and confident through practical education by their age.”
Today, with the help of UNICEF, six tea planting schools have joined the state education system of Assam-where children’s textbooks are being provided as well as clean water, toilet and regular disaster preparation.
Local leadership, joint support
This progress is not only a product of UNICEF’s efforts, but the result of an integrated partnership and concrete effort.
State government, academics and policy makers have played an active and decision -making role in the disaster risk reduction roadmap 20, Mission Vatsala and Assam child marriage missions.
“The water level of Brahmaputra is increasing in the Indian representative of UNICEF,” Assam’s children are constantly fighting disaster like floods, heat, storms and earthquakes. They cannot overcome these obstacles alone.
UNICEF has already increased the steps of this direction-schools are making safe by the Jall-Sense-sensitive solution, training of Anganwadi workers and teaching youth the skills of youth so that they can empower them along with them as well.
