Our perspective:

        Is that a child should be known, loved and protected.

Our believe is that:

• Holistic child development leads to a matured fulfilled adult.
• Individuals and families can live healthy lives and plan their families when they have knowledge of the right to healthy life and environment, where and how to access to information on PHC and are empowered through live skills for services within their communities
• Building sustainable systems for self-reliance starts with elimination of absolute poverty in families that affect the destinies of children as they lack education , health, spiritual, socioemotional support
