Smart Start is RCK’s integrated approach to early childhood development, focusing on preventing early childhood diseases that contribute to high mortality rates and hinder physical and cognitive growth. The program combines WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), nutrition, and clean water initiatives to create a healthy foundation for young children. By addressing critical health factors such as disease prevention, proper nutrition, and access to clean water, Smart Start ensures that children have the necessary conditions to grow, thrive, and succeed in their early years of learning. This holistic approach not only supports healthy development but also helps reduce the risk of preventable diseases, contributing to better long-term health and educational outcomes.
