OneSky for All Children

Vietnam: In Vietnam, our goal is to ensure that all vulnerable children living in industrial zones receive quality early care and education that enables healthy development in their formative early years, providing a lifelong foundation to thrive. In partnership with the government, we are training a national community of skilled home-based childcare (HBC) providers serving low-income families in factory zones. In 2022, we contributed to the national guidance on childcare, signed an agreement to design a government childcare training model, celebrated the fifth anniversary of the OneSky Early Learning Center, and supported local communities through Covid and natural disasters.

Mongolia: Lockdown has been hard on many of the communities in which OneSky works but none more so than in Ulaanbaatar where the families we serve live in crowded ger (yurt) districts, where children have limited access to quality early childhood care and education. The OneSky Family Center opened in the summer of 2020 and fast became a refuge for many families in the Bayanzurkh District. In 2022, we continued to build strong relations with the government, NGO partners and the local community while enhancing the quality of care for vulnerable young children living in ger districts.

China: OneSky trains communities and caregivers in China's welfare institutions how to provide responsive, loving care to young vulnerable children. For over two decades, OneSky has been a pioneer in high-quality early childhood care and education, as well as a trusted government partner. In 2022, OneSky continued to pass on knowledge through trainings to nannies and foster parents working with China's welfare institutions. While continuing to train caregivers across the country, OneSky expanded the Family First Program and supported the government in moving as many children as possible out of welfare institutions. Since the program launched, 164 children from 43 institutions have been moved into family-like environments, a 10% increase over the year

Hong Kong: In 2022, the P. C. Lee OneSky Global Centre for Early Childhood Development in Hong Kong further established itself within the local community as a place for children and families to play and connect in a safe, educational environment and under the supervision of OneSky Family Mentors. Despite the closure of our Centre from January to May, 2022 due to Covid-related restrictions, we stayed connected to the families and children we serve (holding 16 online trainings) while continuing to engage with NGO partners, participate in community activities, and secure new funding partnerships.
