Child Aid
Adapting to Communities
Planet Aid, Inc. supports Child Aid community development programs operated by members of the Federation Humana People to People worldwide.The program is based upon an adaptable model that changes to suit the needs of each community. The program has different focus areas, or lines, that it pursues in order to help people create sustainable development and improve the lives of future generations.
Children Determine the Future
The 10 lines of development include: improving the family economy, health & hygiene, education, preschool education, aid for orphans and vulnerable children, children as active participants in society, community development, the environment and agriculture.Depending upon needs expressed in a given community, some of these lines of development may be emphasized more than others.
New Approaches – New Lives
Over the course of five years, Child Aid programs empower families and communities to take an active role in creating a better life for themselves and their children. A given Child Aid program works with 3,000 families in a community and takes a multi-sectoral approach to development. The program was created recognizing the fact that in order to create and sustain development, it must come from the people themselves.
