Child Health

Children living in poverty often have greater health problems and are more likely to suffer from preventable diseases because of lack of proper treatment. Health issues are often the main factor plunging families further into poverty, poor health keeps children from school for weeks or even years at a time leaving them falling behind without proper support or resources to catch up. Our programmatic approach fosters healthy behaviors’, including good hygiene and proper nutrition, and provides access to health and dental care through community centers.
