OUR WORK

We are improving health and nutrition care by linking community and facility services. This includes early screening, timely referrals, and integrated treatment of childhood illness and malnutrition. 

Using proven approaches such as Family MUAC, Care Groups, and trained community health workers, children are identified early, treated effectively, and followed up until recovery. At the same time, families are supported to adopt healthy practices. This approach improves access to care, reduces illness and death, and strengthens the resilience of vulnerable communities.

We are helping children access an education by building classrooms, providing school furniture, training teachers, organising reading clubs, working with local support groups and with parent associations, as well as distributing learning materials. 

We’re also running catch-up clubs to help children who have been cut off from formal schools to return to learning.  

We use an integrated approach that puts child protection at the centre of all its work in education, health, nutrition, and poverty reduction. 

We address issues such as child labour in sectors like vanilla, mica, and gold, as well as gender-based violence and child, early, and forced marriage. 

Working with governments, partners, families, and children, we protect children from harm and family separation, and support survivors with services including healthcare, mental health support, legal aid, and school reintegration.

We are helping children overcome the mental toll of a crisis. This includes creating spaces where children can play and learn, delivering psychosocial first aid training to parents and teachers and referring children to specialised help where required. Psychological First Aid (PFA) and immediate psychosocial support to children and caregivers, including individual support and referrals to specialized services, are also made available. 

We are establishing and operating Child Friendly Spaces (CFS), delivering structured, age- and gender-appropriate psychosocial and life-skills activities to address cyclone trauma, displacement, and family separation. 

We are providing support to help the most vulnerable families start income-generating activities such as poultry farming for egg production, tailoring businesses, and small-scale agriculture so that children have enough to eat. 

We are supporting children and families to access education, nutrition, protection, safe water, hygiene, and sanitation services when natural disasters such as cyclones or droughts occur.
