Speakers at an event called for taking necessary steps for ensuring the rights of children under Kinship Care arrangement. 

Kinship Care is when children and youths, who have no parents, live with their relatives such as aunts, uncles, grandparents, siblings, extended family, or fictive kins (those known to the family), who step up to care for the children.

With the support of Family for Every Child, a UK-based global alliance of 46 local organisations working in 38 countries to improve the lives of children and families in need, Centre for Services and Information on Disability (CSID), a Bangladeshi non-government organization working for people with disabilities, held a campaign recently in the capital to highlight the importance of Kinship Care.

The campaign included gathering of local people including children, drawings by children, its exhibition and opinion exchange meeting.   

In the event held marking the occasion of International Children Day and Kinship Week recently, the caregivers, school teachers, government social workers and children stressed on the necessity of Kinship Care, saying that it is very important for the children with disabilities.

In the Kinship Care arrangement, children with disabilities feel safer and their development happens because their relatives know the real situation of children with disabilities, they observed.

While speaking at the event, representatives of CSID called on all concerned to care for children with disabilities in a family setup that increases the physical and mental health for them. Without the family bonding it will be difficult for all children to develop properly, they added.

During the event, children with disabilities drew some pictures & held exhibition at Wazuddin High School premises at Kamrangir Char in the capital.

About 200 students, including children with disabilities, attended the event.

Md. Monir Hossain, Head Teacher of Wazuddin School, was present as a chief guest, while Iftekhar Ahmed, Director of CSID, attended as the special guest.
