Celebrating Families is a faith-based World Vision model built around workshops that help parents and caregivers form loving, positive relationships with their children.

World Vision has rolled the model out across hundreds of Area Development Programmes worldwide, with the goal of giving children a safe, nurturing home where they grow spiritually, socially, and emotionally.
