The "child proof" home has yet to become common place in Asia
|

TASC was formed in 2002 by former American Ambassador to Vietnam Douglas "Pete" Peterson and his wife, Vi Peterson. They have dedicated their lives to advocacy for children's health, recognizing that the prevention of child injury was a neglected area that they could make a real difference in.
TASC’s main focus is reducing the number of preventable child deaths (aged 1-17) in Asia. Rather than focus on communicable and non-communicable diseases which are already a primary focus of many NGOs, TASC has concentrated on preventable deaths and morbidity resulting from injury.
TASC is now in its second phase, implementing prevention programs within selected communities where community surveys have been completed. TASC is registered as a charitable organization in Thailand. TASC is also a registered charitable organization 501 (c) (3) in the USA.
Our focus countries currently are Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Our primary office is in Bangkok, Thailand, with a satellite office in Da Nang, Vietnam.
