UNICEF: Iran ECD
The goal of this community-based nutrition project, a collaboration between the Ministry of Health and UNICEF's Integrated Early Childhood Development (IECD) is to promote health and nutrition for under 6-year-old children living in poor regions. Indeed, poverty is one reason that nearly 20% of children in this area are underweight. These children, mostly between 3 to 5 years old, could have been out playing or following their goats or even at home baby-sitting younger brothers and sisters. Yet thanks to joint efforts by UNICEF and the State Welfare Organization, they can spend their day in the Rural Child Care Center(RCCC) and improve their social skills and get access to pre-school education. UNICEF supported the government establish the RCCCs in four districts of Sistan and Balouchistan province including Nikshahr, Sarbaz, Khash and Chabahar.
