Community

The La Famia Foundation NZ is providing the initial funding and assistance in the establishment of full service La Famia Community Centre’s for Family Management that will provide national and regional models for family management services within the host countries. 

The primary services provided by the centre for family management are proposed as follows:

A full curriculum of family management courses to include:

• Introduction to Family Management
• Infant and child care and related skills
• Youth Development
• Family budgeting and accounting
• Cooking and kitchen skills
• Health and nutrition
• Palliative Care
• Sewing, ironing, cleaning and related domestic skills
• Basic decorating
• Home repairs
• Other courses as needed

The teachers and students for the above courses will be sourced first from the community to include experienced adults including parents and grandparents who have raised their children, single family mothers, expectant moms, and all other parents, grandparents, young adults and community members interested in being educated in family management skills and/or qualified to be employed by the La Famia Family Management Agency. Special courses may also be designed to be administered within the public education system for young adult training in Family Management.

A full service Family Management out-sourcing Agency
A full service child and infant care training facility in-house
A full service in-home child care out-sourcing agency

A cadre of in-home agency services to include:

• Family Management Services
• Youth Programs in Family Management
• Family budgeting and accounting
• Cooking and kitchen help
• Health and nutrition advice
• Palliative Care
• Domestic services including sewing, ironing, washing and cleaning
• Basic Home Repairs
• Other miscellaneous skill teams and services as required

The above education courses and resultant services are designed to fulfill the needs of families throughout the community. La Famia Family Management support workers may also be called upon by specialized private services and public government agencies where the identification and implementation of such services will “fill the gaps” by supplementing these agencies in their specialized assistance.  The objective is the fulfillment of all of the family management needs of the community, effectively and efficiently without duplication of services.

The initial challenge in constructing each regional model will be twofold in firstly implementing the overall program strategy to begin the universal education and strengths based approach within the model community for the grassroots family management education programs from day one. Second, La Famia will simultaneously contact all interested government and private agencies in offering its family management course curriculum, services and community networks to supplement and further re-strategize existing efforts into an ongoing Family / Community Task Force.
