In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), it is shameful to have a disabled child and they are often seen as a curse. Children with disabilities are hidden at home and don’t go to school. Fida and its partners endeavor to influence people’s attitudes so that the rights of children with disabilities are realized.

The online training at Fida and the Northern European Business Academy prepares Burundians for entrepreneurship. It has already given rise to a wide range of new businesses.

In Tigray, food shortages due to armed conflict and the Corona pandemic have deepened. The UN estimates that more people are suffering from hunger in the Tigray area than anywhere else in the world and the situation is expected to worsen in the coming months.

It is important that children who have traumatizing experiences get to recover from these. Fida employee Francis Emechu talks about the work being done for children’s rights in Bidibidi.
