The Adolescent Kit for Expression and Innovation (Adolescent Kit) was created in recognition of the particular challenges that adolescents face in humanitarian situations, and the gap in programming to support them. It aims to support adolescent girls and boys in difficult circumstances, and to bring about positive change in their lives.
Adolescents are a key age group affected by conflict and other humanitarian situations. Their rights are often violated during times of crisis, and they may face risks to their lives, health, development and wellbeing. Despite these challenges, many adolescents demonstrate significant resilience in humanitarian situations, finding constructive ways to adapt to their situations and cope with difficulties. Drawing on their resourcefulness and skills, they can, and do, contribute great energy, creativity and enthusiasm to improving their own lives, as well as their communities – and can be resources for peace and stability.
