HOCW’s Children’s Program

HOCW’s Children’s Program supports children to grow, learn, and thrive in safe and nurturing environments. Through our Two-Generation approach, we address children’s developmental and protection needs while strengthening the wellbeing, safety, and stability of their caregivers. Our services are age appropriate, inclusive, and closely connected to HOCW’s protection, health, and economic resilience programs, creating stronger families and better opportunities for children.

Early Childhood Development
(0–2 Years)

Our Early Childhood Development program provides infants and toddlers with safe, nurturing care and early stimulation during the critical first two years of life. The program supports healthy development, nutrition, maternal-child bonding, and early identification of developmental needs.

It also supports caregivers, especially young mothers and women affected by violence by connecting them to health, protection, counseling, education, and livelihood opportunities. This helps caregivers recover and build stability while giving their children the best possible start in life.

Key areas include:

  • Responsive caregiving
  • Early stimulation
  • Nutrition
  • Maternal and child health
  • Developmental monitoring
  • Safe childcare

♧ Kindergarten Program
(3 to 5 Years)

Our Kindergarten Program provides children aged 3 to 5 years with safe, inclusive, and play-based early learning that prepares them for primary school. Children develop essential social, emotional, communication, and cognitive skills while learning through age appropriate activities.

The program also promotes child protection, inclusion, nutrition, hygiene, and wellbeing, including support for children with disabilities.

By providing reliable childcare and early learning, the program enables caregivers to work, access training, build livelihoods, and improve household stability, helping vulnerable and refugee families create better opportunities for their children.

🎓 Sponsored Children Program

Our Sponsored Children Program supports vulnerable children from primary school through university, helping them access education despite challenges such as poverty, displacement, violence, or disability.

Support includes school fees, learning materials, academic monitoring, psychosocial support, mentoring, and guidance for future education or vocational pathways. By also connecting families to health, parenting, and economic resilience services, HOCW helps children stay in school and build a stronger foundation for their future.
