Skilful parenting and economic strengthening promotes early childhood development and reduces child maltreatment in Kenya

FacebookTwitterLinked In

Start Date: 01/10/2018- End Date: 31/03/2020


This  project targets families living in poverty in Kenya with no access to credit facilities, to provide them with age-appropriate parenting education and to connect them with economic support in agribusiness and social protection. Five thousand families will benefit from this unique combination of skilful parenting and economic support, which aims to break the cycle of poverty, promote positive early childhood development, and reduce child maltreatment.
