For Parents
Supporting families is an important part of our program, because strong families=a strong and confident child. The success of the program is based on the relationship and the trust developed with the parents and the girls. The family component provides emotional support, assistance and material resources when a family is most in need. The focus of the program is to empower parents to be strong and confident individuals, while accompanying them on their journey to becoming better advocates for themselves and their children
