The Charitably Future Society (CFS) participated in a specialized training program implemented by SOS Children’s Villages Palestine, with the participation of 14 psychologists and social workers from the five partner organizations implementing project activities, as part of the emergency response interventions aimed at strengthening community resilience in the Gaza Strip.
The five-day training was held in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, from 6 to 10 September 2026, covering key topics related to the implementation of psychosocial support and Child Friendly Spaces activities. The sessions addressed group counseling for children and adults, awareness-raising and psychosocial support sessions, child protection principles and the Code of Conduct, and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), in addition to case identification and referral pathways to specialized services.
The training also covered safety and security protocols during activities, beneficiary data collection and documentation using Kobo, monitoring requirements, and quality implementation. Practical exercises and field-based scenarios were included to help participants prepare for situations they may encounter while implementing project activities.
The training was facilitated by Baker Awad, Psychologist at SOS Children’s Villages Palestine, and Amer Al-Farraona, National Program Advisor, with a specialized session on child protection and safeguarding requirements delivered by Maisara Al-Kafarna.
The training forms part of SOS Children’s Villages Palestine’s efforts to strengthen the capacities of partner organizations, improve the quality of psychosocial support interventions, and establish a common understanding among field teams of the project methodologies and requirements ahead of the implementation of Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) activities.
Through its participation, CFS reaffirms its commitment to strengthening staff capacities and promoting child protection, accountability, and PSEA principles, contributing to the delivery of safe, quality, and professional interventions for children and families targeted by the project.
