Participation in the Ubomi Obutsha Centre’s programs
The new year is now in full swing at the Ubomi Obutsha Centre. This year, 65 families are participating in the Family Focus Program, reaching a total of 406 parents and children. One adult participates per family. In addition, a total of 100-150 children actively participate. Of the 65 families, 25 families are starting the three-year program, 13 families are in their second year, and 8 families are in their final third year. The group of 16 families who completed the program in 2023 want to stay connected. An alumni program is being created for this.
In addition to the Family Focus Program, the Life Skills programs have also started again. Children participate in this in different age groups. Each age group has its own afternoon in the week for the activity. Currently, 586 children are registered, a huge number! Of these, an average of 432 children participate weekly. However, to ensure the quality of the programs with the available capacity at the center, the current numbers are too high. Therefore, it is being looked at how the number of children can be controlled and reduced to 250 participating children over the coming months.
