Abstract:
This paper tells about the Community Mothers Programme. The Community Mothers are all women from the community who volunteer to visit first-time parents in their homes - once a month for one hour over a twelve-month period. This programme operates at community level that begins at or even before birth, empowers the women who implement the programme as well as the families that are visited, and helps some two thousand children a year to reach their full potential.
