Executive Summary
In Argentina 37.3% of the population is poor. This number is higher for the population under 18 years: One in two children live in extremely vulnerable socio-economic conditions. The cultural condition and the educational level of these parents do not allow them to fulfill the role of first educators which results in delays in their development and also in greater school desertion.
HIPPY is a home-based, family-focused program for parents from disadvantaged backgrounds with children aged two to five years old. The goal of the intervention is to promote educational opportunities, thereby reducing gaps in education and attainment.
The program uses home visiting and group meetings as the vehicle for parents to empower themselves and to make their children school-ready.
Home visitors selected from the family’s community provide the parents with storybooks and other resources, and train them on how to use these materials with their children.
