Kenyan families are facing many of the common challenges known to increase the risk of family separation globally: poverty, living with a disability and violence. In response, CTWWC Kenya took a cross-cutting approach to family strengthening as part of its broader care reform work.
The approach targets families who are at risk of, but not yet separated, families providing family-based alternative care such as kinship care, Kafaalah or foster care; and families who are already separated and are preparing for reunification or are in the process of reintegration to prevent re-separation.
This brief summarizes the original design of Changing the Way We Care’s family strengthening approach, the lessons learned during implementation, and the adaptations that CTWWC is making to maximize the impact of its family strengthening work.
