Early Infancy

We contribute to infants living under honourable conditions and protecting environments during their first years, with families, communities, and institutions that have developed skills and abilities to guarantee their rights.

Strengthening of protection factors 
We contribute to health preservation and child nutrition during their early years, preventing diseases, illnesses and their complications, through the promotion of practices for their care amongst families and community support networks.

Strengthening of skills and abilities for upbringing and stimulating development of boys and girls
We promote social-cultural and teaching practices that facilitate and strengthen integral development of boys and girls.

Improvement of environmental surroundings
We strengthen protection factors for health, nutrition and reduction of risks related to environmental surroundings that favour transmission and spreading out of prevailing child diseases, promoting participative interventions to improve family and community surroundings.

Community development
We promote strengthening of community and organisation skills that favour exercise and demand of small boys’ and girls’ rights.

Institutional development
We carry out alliances with other partners and strengthen local government and institutions skills, to help them in their role as child rights’ warrantors during the early years.
