Developments Family Focus Programma

Recently, many beautiful developments have taken place within the Family Focus Program. Therefore, it’s high time for an update.

Working on Trust

Trust is one of the keys within cohesive and resilient families. If family members can trust each other, they will support each other and make progress together. To symbolize this, the educators of the Family Focus Program did a simple exercise.

In pairs, they took turns leading each other blindfolded through a room full of obstacles. How does it feel when you have to trust someone else because you can’t see anything yourself? And how does it feel when someone else trusts you to lead them safely through the room? In this way, they learn a lot about building and maintaining trust, which trickles down to trust in each other within the family.

Developments from former participants of the program

Janeth has now completed the three-year Family Focus Program. She now organizes a ‘support group’ for her neighbors every few weeks. In addition, she now has a thriving vegetable garden at her house. She was able to start this garden with a ‘compact garden’ box from the Ubomi Obutsha Centre.

Another success comes from Mama Zoz, who after completing the program has her own business to beautifully decorate cakes. She takes care of her grandchildren and has had a difficult time, as two family members have passed away. However, she recently came by the center to tell them that she is doing better and she is working. The center received a note that said: “Thank you. I just want to show you that I am serious and that you have not wasted your time and resources on me.”
