In Bihar, children face the danger of prolonged and repeated episodes of illness owing to underlying and hitherto undefined states of vulnerability, resulting in poor health, morbidity, and mortality.

Project Paanch Paar is a collaborative project commissioned by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and led by the Vihara Innovation Network, in partnership CARE India and M4ID Finland. 

Paanch Paar employs human-centred design to unpack under 5 vulnerability and develop innovative solutions to identify vulnerable children and resolve the repeated cycle of illness towards pathways of resilience.
