Dembe's Story: A Child Protection Book designed by Children on the Edge
Children on the Edge works with Congolese refugee children in Kyaka II refugee settlement Uganda, providing quality early years education for thousands of children.
We were looking for a way to teach the children we work with how to stay safe and protected but struggled to find resources that were suitable for our learners, so we decided to create our own child protection book - Dembe's Story.
Watch our short video to see why Dembe's story was needed, the process of creating the book and what the children think of the story.
Dembe's Story is for children aged between 3-6 years old written by Children on the Edge with illustrations by Charlotte Callin. The book is designed to be a starting point for discussions with children around the topics of body boundaries, safe and unsafe touch, what different types of abuse could look like and what to do if a child or someone they know is being abused.
International Education Officer Sarah Ndlovu said “The reception to Dembe’s story has been fantastic. The child protection book is an essential resource for early years refugee education and would love to see it being used more widely. We want to share it with other organisations so that they can use it to help the children they work with stay safe and protected.”

มุมมอง 932 หลายเดือนก่อน

Brilliant COTE!
Thank you Philip!
अगर पाकिस्तान को ज्यादा अच्छा लग रहा है रोहिंग्या तो पाकिस्तान वाले अपने देश में इनको शरण दे दो क्योंकि यह मुसलमान है तुम लोग कहते हो मुसलमान के राजा है देखते हैं तुम्हारे अंदर कितना मानवता और कितनी तुम्हारी औकात है
रोहिंग्या बच्चे ज्यादा पैदा करते हैं इसीलिए गरीब है और यह आतंकवादी भी ज्यादा है इनका हेल्प नहीं करना चाहिए क्योंकि केवल इंसान होने से नहीं होता है इंसान की विचारधारा भी होनी चाहिए यह इंसान नहीं है दूसरों पर अपना अधिकार जमाना चाहते हैं अधिक बच्चा पैदा करके
Wowowo

What about the 25% to 33% of "saintly mothers" in the US MURDERING their own babies out of "inconvenience", or encouraged to do "to shoe their power". At least these children in Uganda are seen as having SOME VALUE. With mothers in the US children have VERY LITTLE OR NO VALUE. Take a look at how "saintly mothers" break up families just because SHE is bored. And then see how these "saintly mothers" weaponize HER OWN BABIES against her ex. Why are we so concerned about the few child sacrifices in other countries, when there are around ONE MILLION BABIES IN THE US THAT ARE MURDERED BY THEIR OWN MOTHERS????
People are sick

Lovely, just to say to avoid the need to use plastic sticky tape, we can punch holes in the top corners of the flags and then thread the string through 🙏💚✨
