Programmdetails

The Early Childhood Development (ECD) Program at Stop Child Abuse (SCA) focuses on promoting the holistic development of children aged 0-8 years while safeguarding them from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

Through community-based initiatives, caregiver education, and child-friendly spaces, the program aims to:
Enhance children’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development.
Empower parents and caregivers with knowledge and skills to provide responsive care and prevent abuse.
Strengthen community systems to identify, report, and respond to child protection concerns.
Volunteers play a critical role in supporting the implementation of this program, working directly with children, families, and communities to create lasting change.
