Child
and Family Welfare Programme
The
Child and Family Welfare Programme was established at CFSI
to draw special attention to the plight of children,
particularly those in exceptionally difficult circumstances and
in need of special protection. It is child rights-oriented and
focused on the psychosocial needs of children who are: sexually
abused and exploited, in situations of armed conflict,
combatants, homeless, and/or separated from their parents owing
to the socio-political situation in their homeland.
Recognizing
the important role of family in protecting and nurturing
children, the Programme promotes family-based interventions.
Community effort is also considered important to child growth and
development. CFSI interventions often include training
community-based care-providers and professional service
providers. Basic education is aggressively promoted. Advocacy is
an important element of the Child and Family Welfare Programme.
