ABOUT RI:
Relief International specializes in relief and development programs that benefit people in acute distress. A registered non-profit in the US, UK, France and Belgium, our work targets those fragile countries or communities that suffer from recurrent man-made or natural crises that impede human development. The people that we serve live in seventeen countries across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia where the debilitating effects of political instability, forced displacement, and natural disasters are pervasive. Often, RI is the only organization providing healthcare, education, logistics, energy, capacity building, economic development, sanitation, and many other forms of assistance to these highly vulnerable communities.
Summary:
Relief International (RI) is a humanitarian, non-profit, non-sectarian agency that provides emergency relief, rehabilitation, and development services throughout the world.

Rationale of Consultancy
To support children’s physical and mental wellbeing in schools, RI will establish children’s clubs in target schools. The clubs aim to support the development of children’s life skills, healthy living and develop their understanding of gender discrimination. The clubs are expected to promote and support integration and social cohesion between host and refugee’s children, through joint activities and games. Activities will include following:
i) Training teachers in club facilitation;
ii) Providing equipment and resources to clubs;
iii) Healthy living practices (teeth cleaning, hand washing and self-care) in liaison with health posts;
iv) Taking care of the local environment (litter, waste management);
v) Sports / games
Each club will be run for 60 students and facilitated by a facilitator / teacher according to INEE standards in target schools. Awareness on COVID-19 and preventive measures will be included in health information and training.
RI will engage a consultant who will be responsible for preparing the children club’s facilitator manual including modules and activities to be carried out and guidance notes for the facilitator, developing IEC material for club activities and conducting ToT of teacher and staff. In addition, the consultant will make recommendations for efficient management of the children’s club, including establishing the management structure, definition of selection criteria of club members, and elaboration and use of practical administrative tools.

pRelief International entered in 2005 after a devastating earthquake where we were among the first organizations to respond. Today our programs focus on improving educational outcomes for vulnerable children. We collaborate with children's, students, parents, teachers, community leaders, and government ministries to enroll Afghan refugee and Pakistani children in the 45 schools we support, working to transform an educational system that suffers from poor graduation rates due to poverty and under-investment. In addition to our focus on the education sector, our past work in Pakistan has included responding to the country’s frequent natural disasters by partnering with local communities to restore livelihoods through sustainable agricultural programs, as well as providing healthcare, life-saving shelter kits, food aid, and cash assistance to families displaced by conflict. Relief International is scaling up engagement and anticipating significant program growth in the coming years to continue this groundbreaking work/p
