Monthly Counselling Meeting With Caregivers

On the 7th of February 2019, Childfocus held one of its monthly counselling meetings with caregivers. The attendees were single parents, teen mothers, relatives and volunteers helping Childfocus carry out care for children. Our maiden meeting focused on data collection, starting the process of getting to know them on a more personal level and debriefing them on our vision for partnering with them for child care. In the next couple of months, we are going to work hand in hand with them to strengthen child care awareness through our programs to assist them be more effective in their roles as care givers.
