Launched in collaboration with the Şanlıurfa Governorship and named "Neighborhoods Supporting Children," this pilot program includes the neighborhoods of Onikiler, Selçuklu, Türk Meydanı, and Yenice in the Eyyübiye district, and Süleymaniye in the Haliliye district. To make these neighborhoods supportive for all children, especially girls, the program focused on assessing the current situation in these five neighborhoods and implementing community-based solutions to identified problems.

Additionally, programs were implemented to help teachers confidently utilize protective and preventive services for children and access supportive services.

Within the neighborhood-based programs, the goal is to work with a total of 62,450 people across five neighborhoods. School- and child-based programs aim to reach 1,000 children across the same neighborhoods.

Under the school-based programs, 30 teachers will be trained as trainers, and 300 teachers will be supported to develop their capacity to identify and address child protection risks in a timely manner.

In 2024, Suna’s Daughters will also begin working on child- and household-based programs in Şanlıurfa.
