    In partnership with Kesho Kenya, Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH-NL) is implementing a project, in the coastal region, envisioning a reduction in the prevalence of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation among children in Kilifi and Kwale Counties. This is done through strengthening prevention structures in communities and schools while improving access to inclusive quality education and sustainable household livelihoods for child survivors and those at risk of sex trafficking/exploitation.

    Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH-NL), in partnership with Dwelling Places, is promoting a tested “shield approach,” designed to protect children in Karamoja, Uganda by reducing key vulnerabilities to child trafficking. This is being realized through the strengthening of monitoring, referral, response, and reporting mechanisms; the promotion of positive behavior change; and, the provision of rehabilitation and reintegration support to survivors.
