The Kenya Red Cross has partnered with Kibera Pride a non-profit, registered NGO with a mandate to provide foster/home care for children in vulnerable situations in Kibera, one of the world’s largest informal settlements and located inside Nairobi. In particular, Kenya Red Cross provided various supports for children after Kibera Pride experienced a fire.

Kenya Red Cross implemented a Sexual and Reproductive Health and SGBV project, “Hope beyond COVID 19”, that delivered services to populations in vulnerable situations in Nairobi County. Part of the project deliverables was setting up a GBV unit, where survivors of violence could access free comprehensive medical services. Working closely with the Nairobi City County Government, KRCS set up a fabricated container that will be utilized as a GBV Unit where girls and women can access clinical care, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, and a child therapy room.

As part of the Pakistan Red Crescent response to the return of Afghan migrants from Pakistan to Afghanistan, programing has been established for children and adults in vulnerable situations. The main features of the program implemented by PRCS for Afghan returnees include the establishment of Humanitarian Services Point (HSP) in Torkham Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, a medical care facility at Chaman in Baluchistan province, and provision of essential services such as health care, safe drinking water, and gender-sensitive sanitation facilities targeting 60,000 people under an IFRC supported operation. The program integrates Protection, Gender, and Inclusion (PGI) and Community Engagement and Accountability to ensure the dignity, safety, and participation of diverse groups including children, women, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.

The Chad Red Cross with involvement of local authorities has set up an integrated protection programme in eight camps and transit sites to support refugee children and families mainly from Sudan. The programme has a focus on Child Friendly Spaces, education, and support to Unaccompanied and Separated Children.

In Gaza, children have been severely impacted by hostilities. This includes death, injury and disability, separation, trauma, loss of school, health conditions, and a loss of routines and play. One of the responses by the Palestinian Red Crescent has been to implement the mobile Child Friendly Space named, the "Dream Bus."

The Sri Lanka Red Cross Society, in partnership with the IFRC through the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund, provided support to migrants from Rakhine State of Myanmar. This included 19 Unaccompanied and Separated Children that were supported with protection and assistance services.

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) actively implements Child-Friendly Spaces (CFS) as part of its emergency response, recognizing the unique vulnerabilities of children during disasters. CFS are designated safe spaces in evacuation centers or affected communities where children can play, learn, and receive psychosocial support in a structured and protective environment. These spaces are crucial for restoring a sense of normalcy, fostering resilience, and reducing the risks of violence, exploitation, and abuse.
