Jadian works with children, families and communities to promote safety, dignity, inclusion and protection in communities affected by crisis and vulnerability.
Strengthening the protective environment around children through prevention, community engagement, safeguarding and locally led action.
Children living in communities affected by conflict, displacement, poverty and disruption of essential services can face increased risks to their safety, wellbeing and development.
Jadian's Child Protection & Safeguarding Program works to strengthen the protective environment around children by engaging families, communities, young people and local actors in prevention, awareness, safe participation and community-based protection.
We believe that protecting children is a shared responsibility. Sustainable protection requires more than responding to risks after they occur. It requires informed families, supportive communities, safe environments and responsible organizations that place children's dignity, safety and best interests at the center of their work.
Jadian promotes locally led approaches that help communities understand protection risks, strengthen protective practices and create safer environments for children.
Our work focuses on prevention, community engagement, child safeguarding, safe participation and appropriate linkages to support services where available and within our organizational capacity.
The program is designed to support children and adolescents, families and caregivers, young people, community groups and other local actors who contribute to children's safety and wellbeing.
We seek to ensure that protection approaches are inclusive, context-sensitive and responsive to the needs of children and the communities around them.
