“We are very excited to announce our new website for those interested in learning more about what works in supporting vulnerable children and their caregivers,” says Executive Director of the Bantwana Initiative, Gill Garb. “Funders and partners have been asking us to share our approaches to community case management, livelihoods development, and reducing gender-based violence, among others. This website makes those resources available more broadly and enables us to share our innovative approach to layering health, education, and social services in a way that better meets the needs of the communities we serve.”

Bantwana.org will be regularly updated with new resources, including curricula and tools; news from Bantwana’s programs and country teams; and blog posts that capture timely learning and success stories. Visitors are encouraged to explore bantwana.org and sign up for the mailing list to stay informed on Bantwana’s initiatives.
