This project in Oaxaca, Mexico seeks to build a local and national network of health care providers committed to promoting literacy and early relational health starting in infancy. The project trains doctors and nurses to promote reading as part of pediatric visits, distributing “literary diaper bags,” and creating and/or enriching reading spaces in communities throughout Oaxaca and neighboring states.
IOU Foundation is pleased to support this holistic approach to children´s health that focuses on reading and understanding a patient’s social context.
