Family-centered management is the driver of our disability inclusive “A Child is a Child” initiative.
Our Goal: Promote protection and access to services – social, health, and education – for children with disabilities.
Implemented in partnership with Imbita Women’s Finance Trust, the project serves 26 Tinkhundla throughout Eswatini.
This project is made possible with the generous support of the German Government (BMZ) with, and through, Kindernothilfe (KNH).
“A Child is a Child” is a family-centered case management and referral initiative that concentrates on three areas:
Health
- General child health (immunization, childhood illnesses, chronic illnesses and management, nutrition)
- Early childhood development (ECD) and milestones
- Sexual and reproductive health (SRH)
- HIV
- Safe water, hygiene, and sanitation
Social
- Birth registration
- Child protection
- Access to social benefits such as grants and education support
- Violence against children (VAC) and gender-based violence (GBV)
- Food security
- Shelter
- Psychosocial support (PSS)
Education
- Access and referrals to early childhood care and education (ECCE)
- Primary education
- Secondary education
- Vocational skills training
