Caregiver Training Program
We empower youth and women as caregivers through practical training for families, school aides, and volunteers, with a focus on newborn care, disability inclusion, and support for the elderly.
Inclusive Care
CARA's Inclusive Care programme empowers families and schools to provide dignified support for children and people with special needs. We strengthen caregiving at home while promoting inclusive education in classrooms, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive.
CareBridge
CareBridge is CARA's community outreach and linkage platform. It identifies households with unmet care needs and connects them to essential health, education, and social services. By bridging the gap between families and formal systems, CareBridge ensures that vulnerable individuals, from new mothers to children with special needs and the elderly, are not left behind.
