Helping to build strong and healthy families
2007
This edition of Footsteps focuses on the family. It looks at issues such as marriage, child health, discipline and care for children, and shares practical ideas on playing with babies and young children. It also discusses child-to-child initiatives that mobilise young people to help provide care and support for orphans and vulnerable children in their community.
Casa Filadélfia (CAF) is a Christian organisation in São Paulo, Brazil, that supports children, adolescents and families living with or affected by HIV. CAF projects are designed to reach out to people who are excluded from society, to help restore their self-esteem and equip them with the skills they need for the future.
