A funding announcement was released today by the US State Department for NGO programs which will benefit Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq (RFP link:http://www.state.gov/j/prm/funding/fy2014/218096.htm). I will be applying for this grant opportunity in order to engage our team in the following specified field of activity:
Child Protection/Youth Protection, to include activities that incorporate and address the needs of unaccompanied minors. Proposals should adhere to the International Child Protection Working Group’s Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action and Sphere Standards for Protection.
This action will be undertaken following our DRC mission. It is my hope that we will be able to provide both medical and dental services to orphaned children in Lebanon and/or Jordan. I will keep you posted on our progress.
