Health Care
The IRC provides comprehensive health care services in Oure Cassoni camp through its health center and health post, and also provides ongoing support for the health center of Bahai village. A reproductive health clinic, providing ante and post natal services, clinical management of survivors of sexual violence, and basic emergency obstetric care and/or referrals, was opened in October 2004.
Environmental Health
The IRC provides water to Oure Cassoni camp through a water treatment plant established in August 2004. The plant produces approximately 95,000 gallons of potable water per day. The IRC also manages sanitation issues in the camp, including waste control, vector control, garbage and animal carcass removal and hygiene promotion and education.
The IRC also provides water and sanitation services to the residents of Bahai, and has recently begun hygiene promotion activities.
Protection
Through its protection program, the IRC works to increase community representation of vulnerable groups such as women, the elderly and the disabled and assists in the removal of barriers to their access to camp services. The IRC also has arranged for a community patrol for the camp, community information centers and community spaces.
Child Protection
The IRC has set up three primary schools in Oure Cassoni. The three schools employ 77 teachers and have approximately 6,800 students in attendance. Two pre-schools have been developed for young children, with construction of additional pre-schools underway
In addition to schools, the IRC has created “child-friendly spaces” with organized sports, adult and young adult education classes, cultural activities, and social activities. Older youth in the camp have started informal classes in English, Arabic, and Islamic studies for younger children, using local resources and supported by the IRC.
