What will be done while implementing the project?

The introduction of the Home Visits Model for Early Intervention Services in Vilnius city municipality and Vilnius district municipality is expected to improve the health and social well-being of mothers and children, increase the number of breastfeeding babies and the volume of infant vaccinations. The project will help reduce the number of pregnant women who smoke, who have high blood pressure, and reduce the number of pregnancies the second time before the first child is 2 years old.

The project will also contribute to a reduction in the number of families at social risk by the end of the year due to a lack of parental childcare skills, improved female participation in the labor market and a reduction in maternal crime.

Target  group for the direct benefit of the project: Pregnant women, women giving birth and mothers raising children under two years of age, children under 2 years of age who live in Vilnius city or Vilnius district municipality.
