With the funding received from RHF, CRS has been supporting the Children First project in Quang Nam and Quang Tri for three years. CRS plans to review the activities that have been implemented towards the provision of the continuum of care to its beneficiaries and document them with the purpose of learning lessons and identifying promising practices that have emanated from this project which has been implemented with technical and financial assistance from CRS.
Children First targets 1363 Children in Jeopardy (CiJ) in a total of 20 communes (10 per province) in Quang Nam and Quang Tri, central Vietnam, from birth to 18 years, with a focus on early childhood development (ECD) for children under six. CiJ come from rural populations and include those most in need such as children with severe disabilities, orphans, abandoned children, and those affected by HIV. Using a community-based network model, the project provides direct services and referral to service providers for education, healthcare, food, psycho-social support, and livelihood assistance to the children and their families/caregivers. The project also provides trainings and capacity building for caregiversand networks of service providers to sustain the quality community-based care for CiJ in the future.
