Abstract
ARHC"s objectives under this project are to: (1) identify and maintain periodic contact with all children under age 5; (2) calculate childhood mortality by year and cause; and (3) provide and assess a range of child survival interventions. The latter will specifically include: immunizations against measles, TB, tetanus, whooping cough, diphtheria, and polio by the age of 2; bimonthly nutritional monitoring, with special nutrition education to mothers of malnourished children; and education of mothers in preparation and administration of oral rehydration therapy. ARHC will foster maximum community involvement and support, so that communities will pay half the salaries of lower-level health workers.
