Wajir elders draw a line: R**e and defilement no longer negotiable The traditional dispute resolution method was being used by elders in northern Kenya to settle sexual violence cases out of court.

This week, our Programme Officer Natasha Akholi is participating in an educative and informative training while sharing "Anppcan Regional Office" experiences on trauma and violence informed approaches for abused children and children at risk of abuse organized by Restless Development Uganda.
The goal of the trauma and violence informed approaches is to minimize harm to the children we serve whether or not we know their experiences of violence. The approach promotes the well-being and adaptation of abused children and children at risk of abuse. It increases safety, control and resilience of children seeking our services.

Keeping children safe, seen and connected

This week, November 7, 8 and 9, 2025 Nairobi is a buzz with Step Up And Move, a dance show for kids (6-9 years), pre-teens (10-13 years) and teens (14 years and above) spotlighting dancing prowess as a profession. The kids and youth are showcasing dance classics particularly the Bollywood style to an audience of dance lovers from all the continents of the world !

ANPPCAN Regional Office is on site hosting a display desk for delegates attending the dance show, storytelling our work on child rights and child protection in Africa. Part of the proceeds from the dance show will go towards supporting the needs of children served by ANPPCAN.

Our own Natasha Akholi is hosting a display desk, explaining our work in driving child rights and child protection in Africa. Thank you Step Up And Move for this noble initiative.

Regional office joined government and other like minded organizations in commemoration of World Day against Child Labour in County , Kongowea Mbuzi stadium

The nomadic and pastoralist way of life of the Maasai Community and their proximity to the national border of Kenya/ Tanzania makes many children vulnerable or fall into child labour (herding) and child trafficking.
Last week, "Anppcan Regional Office" sensitized Child Rights Club members from 3 primary schools, Eluanata, Namelok and Oloolaroi on child rights, especially the right to education and the right to be protected from any work that interferes with their education or is harmful to their development.
Regular sensitization forums will be held with Child Rights Club members in the 3 schools to support the learners to understand their rights, especially the right to education and to identify and report any out of school child to designated teachers and community champions who will rescue and reintegrate out of school children in school.
