The sponsor a mother programme provides long-term funding for CINI's work in its specialist areas of health, nutrition, education and protection, from which the mother you are linked to will benefit.  

A trained local health worker, or women's self-help group member, will make regular visits to the mother and her family, encouraging her to increase the nutritional value of her diet using locally available produce.  

We will ensure she has access to a trained person to assist with the birth, either at hospital or at home from a trained traditional birth attendant. Support will be given to ensure that the child is immunized and receives any necessary medical attention during the critical early years.

Throughout the programme, the emphasis will be on training and support for the mother and her family on good nutrition and preventative healthcare.

Once the need for good health and nutrition is met, the next step will be to ensure the child can access educational services. The child will be encouraged to develop strong learning skills and the family will receive help with getting him or her registered at a local school.
