Belonging in families – Psalm 68:6
The organization advocates for the rights of institutionalized children and best practices for their care.
The detrimental effects of institutional care on a child’s well-being are widely documented. We sensitize the public and stakeholders on the said effects and advocate for the use of family-based care options such as family strengthening, kinship care, adoption, foster care, and guardianship as much more effective in providing care and protection for children.
The use of faith sector platforms, the media as well as piggybacking on community events and meetings at grassroots levels have been effective forums for our sensitization and awareness creation initiatives.
We journey alongside childcare institutions keen on implementing Alternative Family Care programs and transforming their models from institutional care to family and community based care. We support them enhance their programmatic and administrative capacity through technical support in strategic planning and projects implementation.
CFFK reaches out to youth or teens discontinued from sponsorship by children’s homes for various reasons amongst them incidences of truant and deviant behavior. These youngsters are left to their own devices, vulnerable to societal ills and in need of a boost to get their lives back on track. We are presently supporting four such youngsters with access to education, vocational training and mentoring and are awed at the transformation a second chance brings!
