Rosa Saffa and Rev. Edward Lavalie provide families with counseling services in Sierra Leone at the Child Reintegration Centre to address parent-child conflict and bring family together. There is an African proverb that says, “the family tree may bend, but it will not break.” Strengthening family bonds ensures that they are resilient in facing future crisis and the family can weather the storms they will face and remain a strong unit where children can thrive. Keeping a family intact is one way to prevent deepening poverty from one generation to the next.
