Through interventions that engage young children, as well as their parents, 

caregivers, and communities, BDO programs ensure that young children survive and thrive — that they are physically 

and emotionally healthy and intellectually curious — and school readiness programs prepare them for school success.

Early childhood, the period between birth and age 8, is the foundation of a child’s future health, 

growth, development and achievement at school and throughout life.

 Experiences during these early years shape brain architecture and have a direct impact on social, emotional and learning skills. This investment prospectus focuses on the first five years of a child’s life 

— an important window of opportunity in a child’s development.
