We are champions of protection of Violence against Children. We identify and train Community Based Facilitators (CBFs) on the 5 Parenting For Respectability modules. The CBFs then organize parents in their communities into groups of 15 – 20 members and train them in the same modules with technical backstopping from project program staffs. The modules are;

  1. Bonding and attachment,
  2. Positive discipline,
  3. Gender,
  4. Spousal relationships and
  5. Males’ Involvement.
