Social Development

Family Violence
Family Violence is a problem of concern to all family members of society. To eliminate it from society, it must be recognized that everyone has a role to play. We're trying to make a difference by increasing public awareness, and coordinating programs that relate to Family Violence issues.

Youth Employment Strategies
