Child Development Program
OneChild’s program is designed to reduce vulnerability for children and break the cycle of generational poverty. We equip local leaders with the skills and resources necessary to develop communities where children can grow into their full potential. OneChild delivers its program in spaces called Hope Centers, which are attached to a local partner church or school. Hope Centers promote healthy development for children in the areas of: discipleship, education, nutrition, socio-emotional development, family engagement, and health. OneChild currently serves over 46,000 children across 15 countries in collaboration with local community partners.
