Sizanani

SIZANANI’s Programme focuses on the well-being of the family, believing this to be critical for the overall functioning of society.

Any breakdown in a family’s functioning and its ability to provide care increases the vulnerability of its members. Therefore, the main aim of SIZANANI’s Children and Families Programme is to help build families that function well and communities that care for, protect and develop children appropriately.
