The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has pledged to support a US$2.3 million comprehensive project for children in the Mekong Delta province of An Giang.
Of the total capital, UNICEF will contribute US$2 million in non-refundable aid; the rest will come from the provincial budget.
The project, which will run until 2010, aims to benefit pregnant mothers and seven groups of vulnerable children, including HIV/AIDS carriers, social evil committers, mal-nutritious children, school drop-outs, labour and sexually abused children, and injured children.
It will help improve local administrations’ capacity for child care and protection, invest in safe water supply and environmental hygiene for primary schools and childcare centres, raise children’s awareness about violence, improve educational conditions for children at home, schools and community, and give pregnant mothers and HIV/AIDS-affected children more access to healthcare and preventive services.
