You may not need to procure and use the UNICEF Supply Kit to use the activities, guides and tools in the Adolescent Kit. Most of the activities in the Adolescent Kit don’t require any supplies or only require basic materials that can be procured locally. Some activities and guides include suggestions for how to use materials from the natural environment or discarded materials, sustainably and safely, approaches which can also promote adolescents’ connections to their cultural traditions and their environmental awareness. The supply guides and tools, linked below, provide checklists and other suggestions for how to purchase or gather supplies and materials locally as you use the Adolescent Kit.
