Expanded Church Response (ECR) is a faith-based organization implementing OVC, GBV, HIV/AIDS, and other programs to mitigate human suffering and bring transformational development.

ECR is looking for individuals who meet the criteria below to facilitate the Families Matter! Program (FMP). The Families Matter! Program (FMP) is an HIV evidence-based, parent-focused intervention designed to promote positive parenting and effective parent-child communication about sexuality and sexual risk reduction.
