Description:
The Community Family Empowerment (CFE) Programme is meant to transform family and community environments into safe, nurturing and loving environments for children and young people. It builds the capacity of parents and caregivers to ensure safeguarding, socio-emotional well-being of children in homes and community settings. It empowers parents with sustainable livelihood programmes to alleviate multiple deprivation situations in families.
