In the 20^th year of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Child Aid is still one of the many contributors to making those rights come true. Child Aid is what it says: Aid to the Child, to grow, learn and live I safe and healthy conditions. All parents wish to create such conditions for their children, but many do not manage on their own.

ADPP Mozambique community development program Child Aid focuses on care for children within the community. It takes a holistic approach to the care of a child by addressing all the challenges he/she faces within the family unit, school and community.

Broadly based, Child Aid builds the capacity in the families and their communities in an all-inclusive program, recognizing that in order to nurture children successfully, the entire community must be strengthened. Families are brought together to address health and sanitation, income generation, education, district development, environmental awareness, and participation of children.

Child Aid has extensive outreach programs with the whole community with information and lessons on health, nutrition, hygiene, environment and other issues, and with practical actions to improve conditions where needed. Here the primary schools in the operation areas are important cooperation partners-children, teachers and parents alike.
