The international children's rights NGO Save the Children Gyeong-In Regional Headquarters (Director Kim Seong-ah) announced that it signed a business agreement with the Incheon Namdong-gu Family Center (Director Park Dong-gyu) on the 7th for the 'First Step Support Project for Pregnant Women and Children in Crisis' to support pregnant women and children in complex crisis situations.
This agreement was promoted to establish a sustainable childcare foundation from the early stages of life, with the goal of creating a healthy childbirth and stable childcare environment for pregnant women and children in crisis in Incheon Metropolitan City.
According to the agreement, the two organizations will cooperate across all aspects of the project, including identifying and managing cases of pregnant women and families with infants and toddlers in crisis, providing customized support funds for living expenses, housing expenses, and medical expenses, and training and dispatching professional "childcare savers."
The "First Step Support for Crisis Pregnant Women and Children" program provides customized support, centered on home visits, to families with at-risk pregnant women and infants under 24 months of age. Save the Children, in collaboration with partner organizations, will train and deploy parenting savers to provide home visits. These services will also include parenting coaching, psychological and emotional support, integrated case management, and customized grants.
Park Dong-gyu, director of the Incheon Namdong-gu Family Center, said, “We will contribute to building a childcare safety net in the region so that practical assistance can be provided to pregnant women and families with young children in crisis.”
Kim Seong-ah, head of the Gyeong-In regional headquarters of Save the Children, said, “This agreement is the starting point for more systematic support for pregnant women and families with children in crisis within the local community,” and added, “We will strive to ensure that children’s rights are protected from the beginning of their lives through integrated case management based on home visits.”
Meanwhile, the two organizations plan to continue their cooperation to eliminate blind spots in community welfare through this agreement and expand regional cooperation models to ensure that pregnant women at risk and their infants and young children can be raised in a safe and healthy environment.
