Lessons Learned from Child-Led Disaster Risk Reduction Project in Thailand
Save the Children in Thailand was active in the emergency response phase right after the Tsunami struck the Indian Ocean in December 2004. Since the beginning of 2005, our programme areas included psychosocial support, livelihood, inclusive education, HIV/AIDS as well as promoting children’s participation. In the beginning of 2006, Save the Children Sweden and UK in Thailand have begun to slowly transform our Tsunami Programme from emergency response to a more long-term development approach. This is to ensure that local communities affected by the Tsunami in Southern Thailand can be self - sustained in the future.
