Nurture 200 dreams, Give a child a chance

Children need more than temporary assistance; they need supportive adults who can protect, guide and encourage them every day. Nurture 200 is therefore investing not only in children but also in the caregivers responsible for their wellbeing.

Many caregivers in the communities we serve face difficult economic circumstances while caring for children. Despite their commitment, they may lack sufficient knowledge, resources or opportunities to respond effectively to challenges involving education, nutrition, health and child protection.

Through community engagement and caregiver empowerment, families are gaining practical knowledge about positive parenting, child rights, healthcare, nutrition, education and protection. Caregivers are encouraged to listen to children, identify risks early and seek support when challenges become difficult to manage.

Where possible, livelihood-oriented empowerment also helps caregivers strengthen household resilience. A more empowered caregiver can better support school attendance, provide basic necessities and respond to emergencies affecting children.

Donor funding makes these activities possible and helps us take support beyond the child to the family environment surrounding them.

The impact is significant because an empowered caregiver can continue supporting children long after a particular project activity has ended. Knowledge gained by one caregiver can also be shared with other family members and neighbors, strengthening community protection networks.

Nurture 200 believes that strengthening caregivers is one of the most sustainable ways to protect children. By supporting this work, donors are helping create households where children are not only provided for but also listened to, protected, encouraged and given the opportunity to thrive.
