Start Date: 31/03/2018- End Date: 31/03/2019

This initiative will promote early development and improves the physical, emotional and socio-economic wellbeing of at risk infants and children under 5 and members of their households through education and local solutions in the war-torn Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The program will establish and test programs that support education in basic parenting skills and health for 200 parents with at-risk children, as well as technical and financial support to take up animal husbandry; a 90% reduction in infant and child abuse, and in prenatal care attendance; and an 80% increase in appropriate management of sick infants and children.
