About 4Children:
Coordinating Comprehensive Care for Children (4Children) is a
five-year, USAID-funded project designed to improve health and well-being
outcomes for vulnerable children affected by HIV and AIDS and other
adversities. 4Children draws on global evidence, which illustrates that HIV and
other adversities are best prevented and addressed when families and children
have access to both high quality health and social welfare services. The
project supports systems and structures at country and regional levels to
implement evidence-based interventions that protect against risk, interrupt
cycles of vulnerability, and build pathways to resilience leading to an AIDS
Free Generation, and contributes to overall improvements in quality of life and
productivity for vulnerable children and their families.  4Children promotes approaches that address
the unique needs of each child and family, including strengthening front line
social service workforce and case management processes.
