Nurture 200 dreams, Give a child a chance

Protecting children requires more than supporting individual children. It requires communities where parents, caregivers, teachers, men, women and other community members recognize their responsibility to keep children safe. Nurture 200 is helping build this collective approach to child protection.

Through community outreach and mentorship, families are learning about child rights, child marriage prevention, sexual and reproductive health, education and the importance of early intervention when children face risks.

These conversations are helping communities challenge harmful stereotypes and create greater understanding around issues that previously remained hidden. Parents are becoming more involved in protecting their children, while men are increasingly encouraged to use their voices and influence against child marriage.

The program also links protection with practical support. A hungry child, a sick child or a child without basic school necessities can face increased vulnerability. By supporting food, healthcare, education and essential needs, Nurture 200 strengthens several protective factors around children.

Donor funding allows this community-based approach to continue reaching families who may otherwise have limited access to information and support.

The most meaningful change occurs when communities begin taking ownership. When parents intervene early, when men speak against child marriage, when caregivers seek medical care and when children know where to seek help, the community itself becomes part of the protection system.

Nurture 200 is helping build that environment. With continued donor partnership, we can strengthen community-based protection and ensure more vulnerable children grow up surrounded by adults who are informed, responsible and committed to their safety and future.
