About 4Children Project:

project supports systems and structures at country and regional levels to
implement evidence-based interventions that protect against risk, interrupt
cycles of vulnerability, and build pathways to resilience leading to an AIDS
Free Generation and contributing to overall improvements in quality of life and
productivity for vulnerable children and their families.
