Early childhood care and Education
Programme Background
Over half of all women are anaemic as are 69.7 of children in the 6-59 months age group.
30% of children are born with low birth weight contributing to under nutrition later in life (World Bank report). Socio- cultural factors make women susceptible to ill health leading to high risk pregnancies, child morbidity and mortality and reduced capacity for taking care of the child.
To address the mentioned issues, organisation developed, implemented and monitored the project in consultation and with support from donor agency, community members, duty bearers and PRI members.
Following activities were organised to address the above issues like meeting & trainings of parents, VHNSC, PRI, SMC, SHG were conducted in continuation to past years interventions of raising awareness & formation CBOs. These interventions helped participants understand the importance of early child care & development milestones, deliverables at AWCs, monitor AWCs and take appropriate care of their young children.
