CHILDREN PROTECTION AND RIGHT ADVOCACY

Children Protection Program

The Children Protection Program is an important extension to the Health & Nutrition service, which was introduced in 2003 as indications of child abuse and domestic violence became more apparent.

ISCO provides full protection for children facing domestic violence, or parental negligence, whenever the case arises.

Now, ISCO is still using the Activity House as a temporary shelter house for children whose need protection. However, should the number of cases increase, ISCO will definitely look for a permanent type of shelter house to provide the service.

Children Right Advocacy

Education Right

ISCO strives to do the outmost to obtain good and cheap education for the children, not only for the children sponsored by ISCO, but also for all marginal children.

To do this, ISCO makes sure that the school authorities conduct a non-discriminative policy to these children, a transparent budget allocation, and goodwill to help the needy families. In some areas, ISCO’s Project Officers sit in the School Committee in order to have a direct involvement for Children Education Right Advocacy.

ISCO also works together with other NGOs in the forum entitled “center for betterment of education” to join hands together in giving inputs and building communication channel with the government via the Department of Education.

ISCO is also involved with various networking activities with other NGOs focusing on child welfare, child labor, and child trafficking. This network system is very important in building the way for ISCO’s future.
