Child Protection Advocacy
Teule Kenya also conducts child rights and protection advocacy workshops in the community. We have held workshops in the Oloitokitok community by having workshops in schools for both the children and the caregivers. We do hope that we can continue to speak for the children through celebrations like the day of the African child and specially organized child advocacy workshops
