From Emergency Assistance to Digital Resilience (IHARIS/CFR- NDIMUBANDI Program

Piloting IHARIS_CFR ( Integrated Humanitarian Assistance and Resilience System ( IHARIS) for Child & Family Resilience Program NDIMUBANDI

Building on lessons from the Gatumba response, WiGLI advanced the development and testing of the Integrated Humanitarian Assistance and Resilience Information System – Child & Family Resilience (IHARIS-CFR).

Through IHARIS-CFR, 156 children from 155 families were identified and registered, establishing a foundation for improved beneficiary tracking, referrals, monitoring, follow-up, and evidence-based support.

The system is designed to help WiGLI move from one-time assistance toward a more comprehensive approach to child and family resilience—ensuring that vulnerable families can be identified, supported, followed up, and connected to appropriate services over time.

Building Resilience Beyond the Emergency

The experience in Gatumba demonstrates how timely, targeted assistance can help vulnerable children continue their educational journey despite the disruption caused by flooding.

For WiGLI, the response represents more than an emergency intervention. It is part of a broader commitment to ensuring that vulnerable children and families are reached, understood, supported, and empowered to build a more resilient future.

Every child matters. Every family matters. And every intervention is an opportunity to strengthen resilience and keep children moving forward—even in times of crisis.

Support Our Work

With continued support from partners, donors, and communities, WiGLI can expand assistance to more vulnerable children and families affected by emergencies, climate-related shocks, and other challenges.

Together, we can help children stay connected to education, protect their well-being, and keep moving toward a brighter future.
