Changing the Way We CareSM (CTWWC) is a global initiative aimed at promoting safe, nurturing family care for children worldwide. Every child, regardless of their place of birth or circumstances, deserves to grow up in a family-based environment. As an implementing partner for the Changing the Way We Care initiative, Kesho Kenya supported its implementation in Kilifi County. The project brought significant transformations to the institutional care sector and local communities. Over 200 children were successfully reintegrated with their families from charitable institutions using a case management approach. Additionally, the initiative prevented separation in 1,800 families through family strengthening activities such as parenting sessions. It also involved forming Caregivers Savings and Loan Groups (SILC) to encourage savings and other economic stability measures. Furthermore, the project enhanced governance systems at the county level to support care reform efforts.
