The Child Survival program is an initiative to serve 107,000 people (46,000 children under 5 and women of reproductive age) within Lira District, northern Uganda. The program works with women's groups from the local churches and healthcare staff from health facilities to significantly prevent illness and death among children under five years of age and pregnant women. St Jude's Charitable Trust SJCT, a non-governmental organization serving women and children since 1990, launched an innovative pilot project with HHI at Sishu Kshema Bhavan (SKB), Kanjirapally, Kerala. SKB is a home for abandoned and orphaned children waiting to find loving adoptive families. The joint project trains economically disadvantaged women to provide personalized and nurturing care to children in orphanages though out Kerala. The results were so remarkable in child health that India's Integrated Child Development Services is now applying HHI's Training to support their own teachers in working with young children. www.sjct-skb.org.

HHI was the very first non-profit to be gifted dotSub's online subtitling technology, and thus, was able to share its work through film with people around the world. HHI was again gifted dotSUB’s support and technology to make our instructional training tool, Baby Massage: Nurturing & Bonding Through Touch, into a DVD with subtitles in 19 languages. Their innovation, vision and generosity led HHI to make this training tool into a DVD to support our HHI Trainers, as well as new parents globally. Sponsors:
