Key methodologies
Sports for Protection
Tdh designed this S4P methodology jointly with UNHCR and International Olympic Committee to support actors who wish to promote the protection of vulnerable groups, such as migrants and ethnic minority groups, through sports. It provides guidance to coaches to help participants achieve self-efficacy, improve their resilience, and protect themselves and their peers.
Engage
The Engage contextual curriculum focuses on life skills development related to protection and psychosocial issues to build children and adolescent’s adaptative and transformative capacities to strengthen their resilience and empowerment.
YouCreate
The goal of YouCreate is to create a space for youth affected by migration and adversity to strengthen their skills in leading arts-based activities, such as painting and drawing, that support wellbeing, resilience, and social cohesion. It follows a Participatory Action Research (PAR) process, where youth leaders act as researchers and work alongside participants. This approach helps explore the strengths and challenges in their daily lives and then plan and implement arts-based projects that address these challenges.
MHPSS & Case Management
Tdh implements MHPSS and case management interventions with the triple nexus in mind in all its geographical areas of operations. The case management and MHPSS services in both humanitarian and development context strengthen self-esteem and reflect on roles and responsibilities and a sense of justice, which plays a major part in supporting gender, diversity, and inclusion.

A journey to safety with Noor Kaida
Noor Kaida, a 15-year-old girl Rohingya refugee in Bangladesh.
“After joining the life skills sessions with Agrajattra and TdH, I started seeing myself differently. I learned to express my feelings and care for my sister with more confidence. I used to feel lost after my mother left, but now I believe I still have a future. I want to study again and follow my dreams, no matter what others say.”
Noor Kaida, a 15-year-old Rohingya girl, lost her father at a young age and was displaced to Bangladesh with her pregnant mother and sister during the 2017 influx. After settling in Camp 27, her mother remarried and eventually abandoned Noor and her sister. With support from a case worker and community volunteer, Noor was safely placed with her aunt, who agreed to care for them. She received protection support, food assistance, and access to life skills training. With renewed hope, Noor is now focused on continuing her education and building a better future.
