Why we do what we do
Up To 250,000 Million Children...
Up to 250 million children (mainly in low and middle income countries) under the age of five are at risk of failing to reach full neurodevelopmental potential Evidence indicates that this early child development deficit can be prevented by ensuring ideal health and environmental conditions. The way forward to improve developmental outcomes is clear. The challenge now is to design, develop, implement, and assess appropriate intervention programs in low-middle-income countries where they are most needed.


How Can We Help You
-We conduct trainings on brain-based Nurturing Care interventions such as the widely acclaimed Conscious Discipline programme.
-We design and implement systems for measuring and evaluating programmes that improve child neurodevelopment in developing tropical regions.
-We build local capacity for assessing neurodevelopment in ways that are culturally reliable and valid in the Caribbean and in tropical developing regions.
-We develop and disseminate best practice policies for child neurodevelopment to local, national, regional, and international policymaker.
