Remarkable result of "Child Safety at Home" project - phase 2

After 6 weeks of implementation, "Child Safety at Home" project has had significant impact on SOS Children's Villages Vietnam, proven by detailed numbers.


"Child Safety at Home" is a project launched by the Center for Health Improvement Research (CHIR), in coordination of SOS Children's Villages Vietnam and ASIF Australia Foundation. Through courses, online seminars, building a community to share and provide support tools, the project improves skills in identifying and handling common unsafe incidents in children. This is the second project in the field of health that ASIF accompanies CHIR.

Children taking part in an online class on skills against dangerous situations


Following the success of phase 1, phase 2 of "Child Safety at Home" project has been continued at SOS Children's Villages Vietnam. During the 6 weeks of implementation, objective factors such as negative impacts of COVID-19 and bad weather conditions have directly affected teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, the fear of online learning, unstable internet connections; the problem of arranging class schedules between aunts, mothers and children, etc. are also barriers that students have to overcome.


Despite many obstacles, the project still maintains impressive achievements in its phase 2:

Impressive results that "Child Safety at Home" brings


"Child Safety at Home" is a project launched by the Center for Health Improvement Research (CHIR), in coordination with SOS Children's Villages Vietnam, and sponsored by ASIF Australia Foundation. Through courses, online seminars, building a community to share and provide support tools, the project improves skills in identifying and handling common unsafe incidents in children.


In phase 2, the project brought very useful knowledge to all the participants. This is also an opportunity to be closer between members of the same family, between families in the same village, and between SOS villages.


The past 6 weeks has been a solid foundation for aunts, mothers and children in SOS Children's Villages Vietnam to learn skills against dangerous situations that can happen to children in the villages any time, thereby avoiding unfortunate consequences on children's health and lives.
