Sonya Vihar Child Survival Program

Sonya Vihar is a large slum at the East side of Delhi, home to thousands of families. Altough they live in fixed yet simple accommodation, child death rate is alarmingly high. Almost 1 in 100 child will die before their first birthday, with anotfher half a percent dying before their fifth birthday. Main causes are poor hygiene, lack of knowledge and above all missing sanitation. HOPE has set up a center here with the generous help from USAID and other donors.
