Project With its holistic approach to address the rights of a child, C3 focused on its Wealthy Healthy Outreach along with its supplementary projects to aid and address their rights. The Wealthy Healthy Outreach program teaches children about hygiene, the importance of good nutrition and the rights of children. During the program, C3 teaches a few of the children in the community how to be a leader and how they can facilitate participation in the community.
