Our Priorities
FAMILY EMPOWERMENT
Family empowerment for child protection is one of the major
themes implemented at CWISH. As an organization working for the protection and
promotion of children’s rights and from our experience of working with
children, we are aware that the status of parents has a direct linkage with
challenges of child protection, along with problems of getting access to quality
education, proper socialization and participation in sociopolitical processes.
As an essential component of the tripartite dimension for the holistic development of children, along with Child Protection and Education,
family empowerment is centered on the economic development of the family. The
main working areas under the Family empowerment theme is to empower the financial
management through entrepreneurship skill development, livelihood improvement
and connecting vulnerable families with modern financial institutions such as
micro finance, or banks.
Similarly, CWISH facilitates parenting education,
organizes reflection sessions, enabling parents to better care for their
children to prevent possible risks, encourage them to ensure their
children’s access to quality education so that their behavior and thoughts will
be changed into rights-responsive as well as protective approaches.
