Family Preservation Program

What is the Family Preservation Program?

The Family Preservation Program is an integrated approach to community development that focuses on families.
Its main objective is to overcome poverty by preserving and empowering families through education, instruction
and behavioral change. Sickness, hunger, ignorance, and dependency are both cause and consequence of family disintegration, creating a continuous downward cycle. The Family Preservation Program breaks this cycle by creating
a sustainable community environment where individuals and families learn basic steps to improve their lives and are encouraged and helped to achieve a progressive series of goals that foster sustainable behavior change. The Family Preservation Program is how we accomplish our goal of alleviating suffering, promoting self-reliance, and instilling hope—one family at a time.
