Family Strengthening (FS)
We work with vulnerable families in Bangladesh to prevent child separation and build long-term resilience. Through the Family Strengthening Programme, we support parents and caregivers with livelihood opportunities, parenting guidance, healthcare, and education. By helping families become financially independent and emotionally secure, we create safe and nurturing homes where children can grow up with love, dignity, and stability. Our approach includes Direct Family Empowerment (DFE) and Community Empowerment for Family Empowerment (CFE) initiatives.

The Family Strengthening Programme has, till date, reached out to more than 38000 children in rural areas and urban slums in 27 locations, across 22 states/UTs.
Spanning over the period of 3 to 5 years, the programme aims to strengthen families to become self-reliant by ensuring holistic development of their children, building capacities and income generating skills of their caregivers.
Main objectives of the trainings are:
- Enhancing individuals’ employability (in wage/self-employment) and ability to adapt to changing.
- Technologies and labour markets.
- Improving the productivity and profitability of enterprises.
- Strengthening national competitiveness and reducing poverty.
- Raising self-consciousness and develop human qualities among the trainees.
