SOS Children's Villages Ethiopia is a non-governmental, non-political, non-denominational charitable child welfare organization. For the past more than 43 years, we have been working to build families for children in need, help them shape their own future and share in the development of their communities. Everything we do is based on the best interest of the child. We help vulnerable families care for their children, and we work to prevent the breakdown of parental care. When children lose parental care, we provide quality alternative care. We support young people in their efforts to become independent adults and succeed in life.
Working with boys and girls is an essential part of the Family and Community Development Program as they are the most vulnerable and their voices are not usually heard. In this regard, life skills development is one intervention approach where by children learn how to cope with daily challenges and succeed in life. It helps boys and girls in vulnerable community groups to be empowered and shape their future.
SOS CVE strongly believes that life skill is one the key aspects of intervention that enable children make the most out of life. It is believed to help boys and girls develop capacity to cope up with daily challenges and grow to their full potential. However, SOS CVE as an institution do not have a standard guiding life skills training manual that prompts the development of it.
Therefore, SOS CVE would like to provide organized and structured life skills training to older children from the age of 11-18 tailored to the developmental needs of boys and girls. For this, SOS CVE wants to hire experienced and competent consulting firm to develop life skill training manual and deliver a TOT training for staffs.
