Family Economic Empowerment Program
Our focus here is to build asset and financial capacity of families- parents and others of productive age so as to sustain the welfare status of the children in the family.

Family Economic Empowerment Program

Peace and Social Justice (PSJ) Program
Conflict situations arise from time to time at both community and international levels. Where they are not well handled, these conflicts could escalate into armed clashes and loss of lives. Those who often die first in such conflicts are parents leaving children as victims in consequence. Our human rights education, justice development, peace and conflict resolution projects fall under this area.
