Child Nutrition The Holt International Child Nutrition Program is proving highly successful at reducing malnutrition among orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children in Holt-supported child care centers and foster care projects around the world. By bringing together partnering NGOs, medical experts, front-line caregivers and local government representatives, Holt's child nutrition program puts in place sound tools and practices that our partners can use to implement, track and evaluate critical nutrition and feeding changes that truly improve child health and nutrition. Education Education empowers children to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential. It is also the most powerful tool children can use to escape the cycle of poverty in their families and communities. Our education programs help break down the barriers that keep children from attending school - whether by covering the cost of their school fees, providing a uniform and school supplies, or teaching parents and community members about the importance of education for all children. Not only does education prepare a child for his or her future, it also helps keep children safe from trafficking, child labor and early marriage. Women's Empowerment Around the world, gender discrimination and lack of opportunity hold women and girls back from reaching their dreams. But given access to education and opportunities, women and girls have a powerful and unique ability to create generational change and break the cycle of poverty in their families and communities. We empower women and girls through education, microloans and job skills training, by equipping them with the knowledge and tools to prevent child marriage, trafficking and abuse, through women's community support groups, and through programs that support women who are coping with the stigma of unwed motherhood. Special Needs Care Around the world, it is a heartbreaking reality that so many children do not receive the vital care they need to thrive - and in many cases, survive. With conditions ranging from autism and HIV to cerebral palsy, limb difference and Down syndrome, these children require specialized therapy, resources, medical care and education. In every country where we work, we strive to ensure that children with special needs receive everything they need to grow and thrive. For children growing up in orphanages or foster homes, this life-changing care can significantly increase their chances of joining a family through adoption. And when children living with their families receive the vital care they need, they are less likely to be abandoned - and more likely to be embraced by their community.
