Final Evaluation
Introduction
ADRA Thailand’s Keep Girls Safe project (KGS) aims to prevent vulnerable children (mainly, but not exclusively, hill-tribe girls) from being exploited and trafficked. KGS is not primarily a shelter, but a conviction to do everything possible to keep vulnerable girls safe from various forms of exploitation, particularly that of human trafficking. KGS is an overarching concept with many components designed to address issues of vulnerability among the marginalized population in Chiang Rai Province. Our projects are designed to complement one another. There are a number of identified factors that predispose a population toward vulnerability such as statelessness, poverty, poor-health and the lack of education. ADRA is actively engaged in the implementations of projects that address some of these factors or actively seeking funding in order to help communities deal with identified issues. Engaging communities to reduce vulnerable factors is our primary goal. Besides providing immediate shelter for highly at-risk girls, we also engage in preventive community activities in designated districts in Chiang Rai Province to address the issues of statelessness, livelihood, health and education. KGS is also anticipating a community-based project that will address the issue of safe migration for stateless women and children in Mae Sai, Mae Fah Luang, Mae Chan and Chiang Saen Districts.
Project Goal
KGS project seeks to reduce vulnerability in selected communities of the families of origin of the girls in the shelter, and children in Chiang Saen District through advocacy campaigns.
Project Outcomes
Eight selected communities becoming aware of risk factors and are equipped with knowledge and skills to address issues of exploitation and trafficking
Girls with high-risk factors are protected from trafficking, exploitation and abuse and are offered services that enhance growth and development through a shelter service
Strategies for project sustainability developed and implemented
