Draft description. This account of Sugira Muryango is a working draft prepared for layout review and has not been confirmed by FXB Rwanda. Figures and dates are illustrative.
Home visiting for families with young children, delivered by trained community coaches.
Sugira Muryango — “strengthen the family” — is an early childhood development programme for households with children under three. Trained community-based coaches visit families at home over several months, working with both parents on responsive caregiving, play, hygiene and nutrition.
The model is deliberately father-inclusive. Sessions are designed for both caregivers, and reducing family conflict and harsh discipline is treated as part of the child's development rather than as a separate welfare concern.
Delivery is embedded in the government system, with coaches supervised locally and families referred on to health and social protection services where the visits surface a need.
