ChildFund’s Families Matter Program (FMP) aims at promoting positive parenting and effective child-parent communication. It is primarily focused on parents or caregivers of adolescents aged between 10-19 years old. It includes topics like sexuality, and sexual risk reduction, including risk for chil d sexual abuse and gender-based violence. FMP recognizes that many parents and guardians may need support to effectively convey values and expectations about sexual behaviour. It supports them to communicate important issues like HIV, STD, pregnancy prevention etc. to their children, thereby preventing adolescents from falling into risk situations and unnecessary separation from their families.
