Aide et Action in collaboration with State Child Protection Society, Assam and UNICEF celebrated Care Givers’ day on 12th September 2021 to appreciate and acknowledge the contributions of the care givers working in the Child Care Institutions (CCIs). The Care Givers and Care Leavers from the 5 targeted districts of Kamrup Metro, Nagaon, Morigaon, Golaghat and Tinsukia came together to celebrate, recognise and strengthen the bond of love and respect among them through a reunion.
Care Givers and Care Leavers shared their life experiences and learnings to motivate and encourage others in their journey in the child protection system of Assam.
The day was celebrated in the presence of dignitaries from Assam state machinery to reflect upon and address the crucial needs and requirements, particularly in aftercare and in broader child protection system. The daylong celebration was followed by the inauguration of a month-long campaign on aftercare in the CCIs of the targeted districts.
