The Camp of Holl-Holl has been set up in 2012 and is now home to more than 4,000 refugees, mostly from Somalia and Ethiopia. Most of them are women and children. They have seeking refuge in Djibouti for decades.
In the camp, UNICEF is providing support for the treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) cases and ensuring that preventive and curative services are available. UNICEF is also supporting the Government to ensure health services are available in the camp, including immunization and ante and post natal care services. In the area of education, UNICEF through its implementing partner LWF is providing support to ensure refugee children receive quality education, and UNICEF contributed for the enrolment of refugee children by providing students kits, school furniture, teachers incentives and teachers training. In the area of child protection, UNICEF’s objectives are to actively prevent children from being harmed; to monitor violations committed against them and to develop programmes to respond to instances where children are at risk of or have been subjected to violence, exploitation or abuse. Through its partnership with LWF, UNICEF provided crucial psychosocial support for children and their caregivers to help them overcome the difficulties they are experiencing and develop positive coping mechanism such as protecting girls from child marriage. UNICEF also supports the camp to set up child and youth friendly spaces to organize activities in a safe and stimulating environment.
Furthermore, UNICEF with their partners contribute in building child protection system with capacity building on child protection risk, prevention and response and organize awareness raising campaign to protection from violence, abuse and exploitation. UNICEF and its partners work to provide clean water, basic toilets and to encourage basic hygiene practices in the camp.
