What we do
Housing and Living Condition Improvement (HALI)
To enhance the quality of life of families, especially children, youth and women, living in urban poor areas. Using the Family Development Program (FDP) methodology, SKO provides psychological counselling, resilience-building, information, and referrals to essential services (health, education, economic, administrative). The project also aims to reduce domestic violence and promote safe, healthy living.
Children's Active Citizenship
To promote understanding of basic education and primary health care among community members, caregivers, and authorities for vulnerable children.
Promoting Children's Education and Health through FDP
To foster awareness among parents, caregivers, and local authorities about the importance of basic education and primary health care for vulnerable children.
Resilient City and Migration Dynamics (RCMD)
To improve the well-being of migrants and vulnerable families through financial literacy, vocational training, legal and public services, education, health, environmental awareness, gender equality, and capacity-building for local authorities. The project also addresses gender-based violence and promotes community engagement.
