Blossom Clubs are Growing
Blossom Clubs create safe, supportive spaces where young people can build confidence, strengthen relationships and develop practical skills for navigating adolescence and preparing for their futures.
​
Through interactive activities, mentoring and reflection, students explore topics including communication, emotional well-being, decision-making, leadership and healthy relationships. We also work with teachers and families to strengthen the support surrounding young people at school and at home.
​
This year, Blossom is growing. HSCV is expanding the program into two additional schools, reaching more young people while broadening the issues we help students navigate.
​
Through support from the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, we are expanding this work to address digital safety and the growing risks young people face online. Alongside practical learning for students, we are strengthening the capacity of teachers and schools to integrate digital safety into their work with young people and build stronger, locally led systems of protection.

Safe to Learn. Safe to Grow.
BUILDING DIGITAL SAFETY & RESILIENCE
Young people are spending more of their lives online learning, communicating and connecting with others. These opportunities also expose children to growing risks, from scams and privacy threats to unsafe interactions and more serious forms of cyber-enabled exploitation.
​
HSCV is helping students build the practical skills and confidence to recognize risks, protect their personal information, make safer decisions and know when and where to seek help.
​
But keeping young people safe online cannot rest with children alone. We are also working with teachers as trusted adults, building their knowledge and capacity to integrate digital safety into their work with students and respond when concerns arise
.
Our goal is to build an approach that can continue beyond the life of a single project. By working alongside schools, teachers and local authorities, we are helping strengthen local ownership of digital safety education and create more sustainable systems of support and protection for young people.
