The Child Development Foundation (CDF) Launches Family Toolkit with Support from the Spotlight Initiative
The Child Development Foundation (CDF) launched a Family Violence Prevention Toolkit at the George Price Center for Peace and Development in Belmopan City to continue their support to faith-based, civil society, and community leaders to work with families in addressing the root causes of family violence.
