Honduran NGOs will now use software to support
global child welfare
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced a major milestone
in coordination with Both Ends Believing, a non-profit change agent
dedicated to bringing attention and solutions to the challenges
facing orphans in developing nations. On June 13, a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) was signed by Tyler, Both Ends Believing, and
the Honduran Government Child Welfare Agency (DINAF) representing
the official partnership for the implementation of the Children
First software program, a technology developed by Tyler
specifically for the non-profit organization.
Currently, 24 non-government organization (NGO) child care
services are implementing the Children First software with DINAF.
With the MOU in place, a possible total of 176 facilities will soon
be using the software. This technology helps government agencies
build, maintain, and manage accurate records of an
institutionalized child's identification, medical conditions, and
other details for matching the child with their permanent
family.
There are close to 700 children registered in the Children First
profile module, with the number increasing every day. The goal of
Both Ends Believing is to reunite these children with their
biological families or to place them into a loving family if
reunification is not an option.
“Together with DINAF, partnerships have been made with the
Honduran National Register of People, the National Institute of
Statistics, and the National Social Sector Information Center to
establish and expand the use of the Children First software tool,”
said Lolis Maria Salas Montes, executive director, DINAF. “The
Children First program is important because it will collect
information that will be generated in the register of care for
children and adolescents. The software program will also be
linked to a certification process and will be used to collect data
which will make it possible to improve childcare services in our
country. The program will also help to reduce costs in
handling such cases and facilitate the return of infants to their
biological families, or place them with permanent families.”
The recent visit to Honduras and signing of the MOU represents
two years of dedicated work on behalf of DINAF, Tyler, and Both
Ends Believing to further the organization’s mission of
transforming global child welfare through technology and
collaboration.
“Our partnership with DINAF will transform the future of
vulnerable children in Honduras living outside of family
care,” said Mark Schwartz, president of Both Ends Believing
and director of consulting for Tyler Technologies. “The recent
signing of the MOU represents an immediate positive change for
child welfare in Honduras which we hope will spread throughout
Central America.”
“This marks an important milestone for Both Ends Believing and
the country of Honduras, and we’re encouraged by the impact that
the Children First software initiative can have for global child
welfare,” said Bruce Graham, president of Tyler’s Courts &
Justice Division. “By equipping Both Ends Believing and countries
like Honduras with the right technology, we provide them a way to
safely move children from institutional care into their permanent
families.”
On August 13-15, Both Ends Believing will hold its first
regional summit in Lusaka, Zambia, to continue the discussions
around global child welfare. Approximately 10 surrounding African
nations are expected to attend the summit, which will focus on
training additional countries to use Children First software.
