Project Overview

SND, with funding from Terre des Hommes (TdH) Germany through BMZ (Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development), is implementing a project titled:

“Child Protection through Capacity Building, Transformation of Social Norms, and Strengthening of Protection Mechanisms in Northern Kenya.”

As part of this initiative, SND seeks to support children at risk of trafficking, unsafe migration, and harmful traditional practices—especially girls—by equipping them with startup kits for Dressmaking, Hairdressing, and Beauty Therapy to help them build a sustainable livelihood.

We hereby invite pre-qualified suppliers to submit quotations for the supply of these startup kits, as per the specifications provided in the link below.
