A Strengthened Partnership for Nurturing Care

August 14, 2024

In partnership with the County Governments of Busia and Homa Bay, ChildFund, with funding from Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, is scaling up nurturing care for early childhood development. This project focuses on responsive caregiving and parenting education, targeting pregnant women, including adolescents, and children under 5 years. Reaching over 5,000 caregivers and more than 4,000 children, the $959,659 initiative strengthens collaboration between county governments, development partners, and Community-Based Organizations.

The project enhances nurturing care knowledge and practices, training community health volunteers, ECD teachers, and child protection actors to improve the well-being and safety of young children.

In 2023, ChildFund Kenya allocated 83% of its total operating expenses to programs supporting vulnerable children, families, and communities.
