A necessidade: Qual é o problema que você está tentando resolver?
The destructive regime of the Khmer Rouge 30 years ago is still affecting Cambodia’s education system today. There is a lack of trained teachers and educators, especially in rural communities, and little understanding of the value of education. Currently 50% of rural Cambodian children drop out of school by 3rd grade. This only perpetuates the cycle of poverty. There is also a need to transition the current education system from one that relies on wrote learning, to a dynamic more stimulating environment that fosters analytical and critical thinking skills, leadership, emotional understanding, teamwork, and creativity.
A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!
Fostering leadership, social responsibility and critical thinking through non-formal education ensures not only that children who do not attend school learn key life skills but also gives an opportunity to promote the value of education and encourage at-risk children to stay in school. PEPY’s Child-to-Child Clubs offer children aged 5-14 an environment in which they can identify common difficulties in their lives and communities and strive to address them by working with other members of their Child Club. It is an action-based learning approach that encourages children to focus on key issues around health, environmental, and human rights subjects.
O Modelo: Demonstre através de um exemplo específico como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas atividades primárias
In Child-to-Child Clubs, the children themselves identify the topics to be discussed and addressed. For instance, in the last quarter of 2011, children and facilitators focused on the importance of water hygiene and clean clothes to improve health. As the children gathered information and tried out various solutions, there was a steady improvement in hygiene practices among participants over the quarter as they practiced what they learned. In addition, the students have shown initiative in speaking with community members and encouraging them to adopt hygienic practices for a healthy lifestyle. The Child-to-Child Clubs are successfully impacting the children’s health, awareness, capacity to develop social and personal skills, as well as spreading positive changes in the wider community. The children also learn a methodology that they can then apply to solve problems independently. The 6 steps involved in Child clubs are:
1. Discuss community issues within an open meeting setting.
2. Identify the reasons behind the problem discussed.
3. Share ideas of how to make a positive change based on personal circumstances and experiences.
4. Work together to choose the best and simplest way to address the problem, analysing the pros and cons of the proposed solution.
5. Develop a plan to communicate the issues and solutions to the community through plays, campaigns etc.
6. Evaluate the process to ensure the problem has been resolved and identify steps to mitigate the problem in the future.

We seek to scale our impact through sharing lessons learned, partnering with organizations, conducting trainings and pooling resources. In 2011, we welcomed the opportunity to work with Child Rights, an NGO in Phnom Penh, and Oxfam Australia to share our experiences in implementing the Child-to-Child concept. Both organizations aim to use the methodology in their programs. In Cambodia many development organizations donate books and resources directly to schools or children. In many cases, there's no training to go with these and they frequently lay idle. In other cases, direct giving can create dependencies. It can be a challenge breaking the expectation of “handouts”. We believe in investing in people rather than things to build capacity for young people who can then develop themselves.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?
261 children attend Child-to-Child Clubs in 14 villages of Siem Reap Province. Since its inception in 2008, Child-to-Child clubs have been well received by villages we work in and have helped to improve overall health and hygiene habits. Dozens of families are now with water filters, and 10 backyard toilets are a result of the Child clubs so far.Child-to-Child Clubs sparked enthusiasm in young leaders so much so that a new club (Volunteer Community Development) was created by former Child Club members and is completely run by them. 54 young educators (grades 7-12) collectively teach more than 700 kids, 5 nights per week, in more than 20 different locations in the district. The club offers English lessons for children, and when comparing English scores between Chanleas Dai primary school and Prasaat Knaar primary school (outside of VCD's teaching area), the Chanleas Dai students achieved higher scores. These outside school clubs have positively affected student's performance in schools.
Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?
Child Clubs will contribute to PEPY’s goal of promoting education through the child club members, who will have the capacity to create awareness on the importance of quality education, based on their own experiences.
We aim to develop the skills of young Club members to the point where (like with VCD) they feel empowered to create their own groups. Further, PEPY aims to encourage more youth formed groups in regions where they currently don't exist. In this way a greater number of children will have the opportunity to learn from young educators, and accordingly we should see an improvement in children's performance at more schools in the district.
We seek to develop strong partnerships with other like-minded organizations who can implement the Child-to-Child methodology in their work.

After conducting Participatory Rural Appraisals on PEPY’s main target areas in 2007, it was agreed that the education programs that we’d been engaged in for the past two years were not doing enough to build capacity in young people. The country director decided to try implementing a methodology developed by the Child-to-Child Trust in the UK. The Child-to-Child concept appealed to PEPY because we wanted to focus more on 1) directly impacting young people 2) training local leaders for our own organization and 3) better understanding the community. These are all core activities of the Child-to-Child model. As time went on, the Child-to-Child concept received more and more support in the local communities. With continual trainings and improvements it has grown into what is today a more participatory approach for the children.
SUSTENTABILIDADE
Por favor, explique de que forma o estabelecimento de parcerias é importante para o sucesso de sua inovação
PEPY has previously partnered with Resource Development International Cambodia (RDIC) and built several rainwater harvesting units for schools and communities through this partnership. As some of the topics covered in Child-to-Child clubs focus on water sanitation, RDIC’s help has allowed the participants of Child-to-Child clubs to benefit from solutions that include RDIC’s water filters. PEPY also partners with Room to Read and BETTS, both of whom helped PEPY develop children’s literature and learning techniques in the classroom library.
Qual o perfil da equipe (colaboradores, voluntários etc.) que vai garantir o cumprimento das metas de crescimento identificadas por você na seção ‘Impacto Social’?
PEPY currently has 37 Cambodian staff, 2 international staff and 5 international volunteers. PEPY programs are managed and facilitated entirely by Cambodian team members, with many of the Child-to-Child educators coming from, or near, the communities that PEPY works directly with. In addition, the local communities and Child Club participants assist with the impact of this project through their participation and application of skills and lessons learned.
