About Company

Founded in 2012 with UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO), Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) is at the forefront of a global movement to accelerate the scale-up of evidence-based, freely-available, inclusive, and culturally sensitive parenting solutions within existing systems of delivery, to promote healthy child development and prevent family violence in the Global South. Programmes developed by PLH have been rigorously tested in more than 15 randomised controlled trials. These in-person, remote, digital, and hybrid parenting programmes (for parents of infants, toddlers, young children, and teens) have been delivered in 38 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to more than 400,000 children and parents. 

From 2020 to 2021, PLH co-led the COVID-19 Playful Parenting Emergency Response, an inter-agency initiative that supported the dissemination of evidence-informed parenting materials to more than 210.5 million beneficiaries. PLH has also provided support to parents and caregivers in other humanitarian crises, including those in Ukraine, Pakistan, Syria/Turkey, Sudan, and elsewhere. 

In 2022, in response to immense demand from UN, bilateral and government partners, PLH was formally established as a charity with the goal of building the connections, integrated solutions, and knowledge base necessary to catalyse sustainable impact of parenting support programmes at scale.

Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) is a values-driven charity, committed to supporting and applying the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in all our work. PLH focuses particularly on contributing to achieving SDGs 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality), and 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).
