2025: Advancing Child Welfare in Peru for a Brighter Future

As we enter the new year, Health Bridges International (HBI) is excited to unveil our refined plan with ambitious goals to advance best practices in child welfare across Peru. Our mission is clear: to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive in an environment built on health, hope, home, and purpose.
Our collaboration with the Peruvian College of Nurses is a cornerstone of our new initiatives. Together, we are set to enhance our newborn resuscitation training program. Our approach will focus on training more trainers and establishing a master trainer who will lead efforts on the ground. This collaborative partnership is vital for equipping healthcare professionals with critical skills to save newborn lives and improve maternal health outcomes in Peru.
In addition to our training initiatives, we are thrilled to announce that the Community of Excellence (CoE) research is entering Phase III of its impactful study. This next phase will develop a new curriculum around Awareness, Connection, and Empowerment (ACE) core elements. By incorporating these elements, we aim to fortify the foundations of child welfare programs throughout the region.
The CoE model also introduces trained ambassadors who will serve as local facilitators, bridging the gap between communities and child welfare resources. These ambassadors will play a pivotal role in implementing best practices and ensuring that support reaches those most in need.
As we set our sights on 2025, we recognize the importance of collecting and analyzing outcome data. Our goal is to enhance our understanding of the impact of our programs and share our successes with the stakeholders who have generously supported our efforts. By tracking objective measures, we can continue to improve our initiatives and demonstrate the real change we are making in the lives of children and families.
2025 is poised to be transformative for HBI, and we are ready to embrace its challenges. With our refined strategies and collaborative partnerships, we are committed to advancing a world where every child can access the resources and support they need to flourish. A world where every child can build a life based on health, hope, home, and purpose.
Together, let’s build a brighter future for the children of Peru.
