Our sector project!

Info from the CWY website on our project in Vietnam

Focus is on reducing the acts of domestic and school violence in the community

The youth volunteers will support a community health sector project involving the following:
 Promoting gender equality among youth via workshops and awareness initiatives
 By promoting healthy dialogue, your project will also have an impact on the health of community members
 Facilitate social activities through art for the community to address the prevention of violence
 Campaign to promote anti-violence messages throughout schools and the community at large

Our partner organization is CYDECO (Youth International Cooperation Development Center), the primary youth serving and youth connecting organization in Vietnam.

Our host community in Vietnam is called Dan Chu and it is in Hoa Binh province. It is a village of about 3000 people in the mountainous region.

Objectives:
§  To reinforce positive attitudes in youth related to gender equality and safe sex practices in Hoa Binh

§  150 youth will be direct beneficiaries; 18 volunteers will plan and implement awareness campaigns on reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, sexual transmitted infections, domestic violence and gender equality and produce an awareness campaign guide
