The Little Star Fights COVID-19 Report on last month activities
The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and its consequences for children, youth and their families are going to have a very negative impact in the future. Thus, We are extending our commitment to be the builders of tomorrow’s generation with high morals and empowering skills while they are setting at home “The little star” we designed our project using the PYD concept, framework and toolkits in order to assist, help and guide the children and youth of our community and country to be positive thinkers and to give them the opportunity to lead as they are the only hope for tomorrow’s generation.
In this context, measures to assist children, youth and their families and protect them against falling into depression due to the consequences of the pandemic are more necessary than never. The little star project and programmers are crucial to help individuals and families with this crisis, by reducing social risks, increasing the awareness and protecting the livelihoods and wellbeing of all affected.
Therefore, from the prospective of a sense of responsibility for our community during Pandemic Crisis of COVID-19, we adapted our project to meet the challenges that children and youth are facing while they are setting at home in order to keep them as strong and healthy as they should be when the Crisis gone. In fact, we should look at the bright side of this Pandemic and how we should prepare our children and youth not only how to deal with it but also what they should learn from it and how to overcome it.
The Initiative
This joint effort is inspired by the urgent global call of stopping the spread of the COVID-19 especially among children, youth and their families who are setting at home. Thus, out of our sense of social responsibilities we decided to call whoever is ready to collaborate with us to join us in this initiative so that we could have a very effective project that meets the global COVID-19 call’s objectives. Therefore, we conducted several workshops recently with individuals, families, companies, local NGOs etc. and based on results of the need assessment we had done for over 1500 families and their children, we designed The little star project to meet the following objectives:-
1 / Responding to the global call to help stop the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic
2 / Increase awareness of the social protection of children and youth with their families
3 / Activating their energies and talents in a positive way that helps them with mental health
4 / Activating their leadership and community leadership role positively

In order to measure their responses to COVID-19.
