Background
Center for Child Care and Human Development (C3HD) is a Child Centered and Women Focused
(CCWF) nongovernmental, non-tribal, non-religious and non-profitable organization established
and registered with state in 2017 and later registered as a non-profit organization with Corporate
Affairs Commission (CAC).
C3HD was established to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable communities and especially
women and children, and those affected by conflict and insurgency through maximizing
contributions to Health care and wellbeing, Education, WASH and inequality, Protection (GBV
and CP), Peace Building, and Economic recovery and Livelihood.
C3HD is striving for an all-inclusive community and human development for all, including
populations who are marginalized, underserved or affected by conflict or insurgency, catering to
their health and wellbeing. We have a mission of striving to transform the lives women and
children on the edges of society and help them regain and pursue their dreams for sustainable
development.
C3HD acts as an agent for change. For 5 years and in 4 states, we help women and children to
overcome the massive problem they face through reducing inequality in accessing health services
and education, responding to violence, and promoting food security, empowerment, peace and
building their resilience to respond to future hardships. We employ “the protective communities’
approach” to our programming’s by mainstreaming safeguarding and protection in our activities.
We put women and girls in the center of our work because we know that we cannot promote
sustainable development until all people have equal rights and opportunities. In the communities
we work, we strive to reduce inequality while building women and children’s resilience so that
they can withstand and adequately respond to future challenges.
