Partners in Parenting (PiP)

The PiP program started in 2022, empowering young mothers and their partners or father figures on parental knowledge and skills. Greater emphasis is on encouraging males to participate in the upbringing of their children and education. Thus, becoming active parents in the activities that involve their children to ensure parental support and guidance. Through the parental skills the project aimed at creating a balanced effort from both parents so that each parent can play their roles in the upbringing of children. 

Strengthening Parenting Skills for Child Development.

The project is aimed at improving the communication between the parents and co-parenting partners. This creates a better environment for the children which is Moya Centre’s main focus. An improved relationship between parents helps the child to grow in a more conducive environment. Through the project parents were capacitated on parental skills and they were educated on the holistic development of the baby from unborn. This has seen some parents seeking medical help for their children who presented signs of delayed developmental milestones.

Building Stronger Families Through Parenting, Partnership, and Food Security

Strengthen Family Unit-The partners in parenting (PIP) program were initiated to strengthen the family unit and provide mentorship support to young mothers and fathers (mothers, their partners of father figures) aged 18 to 29 years. 

Father involvement-The project puts emphasis on fathers playing their role in the upbringing of their children and the importance of having a father figure to experience the presence of the male figure in their lives.

Strengthen Relationships- to support parents to strengthen their relationships with their children and promote positive development; and develop a caring and responsive relationship with their child.

Capacitate young parents with parenting skills-Skills in parenting coupled with the sustainable family size we impacted focused on making the fathers part of the children’s lives and education. Another second batch of 80 young parents will be identified and be part of the program in 2026.
