 ACTION
FAMILY NETWORK
THE DESTINY OF
HUMANITY DEPENDS ON THE FAMILY - POPE JOHN PAUL II
   
 
Who We Are...
Action Family Network (AFN) is a non-governmental
organization (NGO)
dedicated to the different aspects of the cradle of
society - the family unit as
our collective origin.
The organization is a
trans-partisan and trans-sectarian
initiative that
focuses on the many aspects of family and community life, health
and
society. As the basic cell of society, the different ills and problems
besetting the larger human community will be better managed
through
appropriate programmes focusing on the family unit. Good and healthy
families collectively will engender the emergence of healthy and
productive
societies.
Action Family Network is
thus the name and the purpose of authentic
service to protect, to encourage and to
confirm community of light, of
life, of love in family. Preservation of family
loyalties, in education, in
religion and in culture by good governance of law
and order in humane,
just and fair society seeks what is good family in humanity
that is world
family.
Any charter of human rights is best family-based,
family-tested and
family-orientated. To do always what is good for the family is
sacred
duty of all men and women of goodwill to work for, and to enjoin.
Our Mission
 Action Family Network organizes “islands of
concern” by authorized families, in the milling, swirling, flooded, engulfing
waters of human desperation, to be havens rescuing, resuscitating and
restoring
in cities, towns and peopled places. Action Family is one bridge,
one island and one
step at a time… Action is the dynamic ‘action this day’ that
accepts that
no one can die in peace who has allowed someone half dead
of hunger, thirst and
sickness to depart from his doorstep without giving
a helping hand.
From nutrition interventions to disease control; from
prevention of teens’
pregnancy to reduction of abortion-related deaths, and to
youth and
adult criminality, the
Action Family Network (AFN) identifies
the family
as the rightful point of intervention
for any sustainable solution.
Action Family would rather move by example than stir by
rhetoric.
Action Family Network ultimately believes in grace...
What We Do...
 Action Family Network (AFN) works to bring
succour to peoples
and to restore sanity to the world through programmes
and activities that
focus on the family both as a nurturing base and as
a caring home.
We pray and labour to build first among ourselves truly
Christian homes with extensions to others to assist them form and live
authentic family lives in accord with the true Christian traditions
concerning marriage and the family.
Some of the aims and objectives of the organization include the following:
To articulate and implement programmes that promote authentic marriage
and
family values, uphold the rights, dignity and responsibilities of the family.
To work to
rectify any and all policies or practices (traditional,
contemporary or
circumstantial) which may be harmful to the individual
dignity, family life or
the well being of the society.
To defend and promote the sanctity and inviolability of human life from
conception to natural demise.
To
provide vocational training centres (VTCs), and to promote job creation projects
that
enhance personal and domestic prosperity such as Micro-credits services and
small
enterprise initiatives to alleviate poverty.
The programmes and activities of the Action Family Network
(AFN)
are structured into three
vital areas of
family life. These are Family Life
and Marriage Issues, Family Health & Nutrition and
Family Economy.
1. Family Life & Marriage:
 Abstinence/Fidelity Education programmes
including "True Love Cares
(TLC)" Clubs in schools teaching character
formation, chaste lifestyle
and academic excellence. Presentations are
made to community groups, town
unions and religious parishes.
Youth Clinic with Adolescent Reproductive
Health and HIV/AIDS
information and counseling services as well as
responsible citizenship
traits.
Pre-marriage preparation, family life counseling services to couples, as
well as family therapy sessions. Marriage is a holy endeavour; people
aspiring to it are given the necessary guidance to equip them for the
joys
and challenges of matrimony. For instance, contraception which
separates sex
from love, abortion which is killing of babies in the
sanctuary of their
mothers' wombs and self-love are not good enough
to ensure healthy and happy
marriages.
Natural Family Planning (NFP) courses are conducted for couples and
groups such as
church parishes and other organized groups. NFP builds
families, strengthens
marriage relationships and promotes sound
spirituality in the home.
Fertility regulation by natural means is
culture-sensitive, scientific,
safe, cost-effective and
does not offend
any religious tenet.
Crisis Pregnancy Management: Action Family Network promotes the
culture of
life through practical charity. For teenaged girls who become
pregnant
outside of wedlock, our organization provides accommodation,
ante-natal care
and maternity services free of charge in affiliate hospitals.
The babies
are thereafter taken by the grand parents or put forward for
adoption in
rare cases.
2. Family Health & Nutrition
HIV/AIDS:
In
the urgent area of preventing and controlling
sexually transmitted diseases,
and especially HIV/AIDS, AFN pursues advocacy and
intervention activities
with the family at the centre. Efforts are made to empower families
with
culture-sensitive preventive information and behaviour change models. For
those
already infected or affected by the epidemic, FIN activities aim to
motivate and equip
the family
with necessary capabilities to cope with the
challenges that usually do arise.
In this way, AFN is helping to curtail the
intensity of the plight of both people living
with HIV/AIDS
and their immediate relations within the community. Counseling,
advocacy campaigns, care and support including
home-based care
for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHAs) and people affected
by
HIV/AIDS (PABAs). Anti-stigmatization awareness interventions with
families, religious groups and community formations.
Nutrition Education/Domestic Food Security: Food care practices,
Exclusive
Breastfeeding, Immunization outreach for children, Child
survival education
as well as motherhood welfare information and
care services.
Domestic healthcare education, accident prevention and first aid
care for
both adults and children. The School Health Programme is an
extension of the philosophy that adequate nutrition is critical to the
physical, mental and intellectual well-being of the child and the family.
3. Family Economic Empowerment
 Micro credits schemes
are set up for the
rural poor
families and groups to alleviate poverty through
self-employment, petty trading activities and other income-generating
initiatives.
Widowhood support especially for AIDS-widows and marginalized
groups.
Skills Acquisition for women and youths including vocational training,
basic information and communication (ICT) education,
dressmaking,
apprenticeship
programmes. Entrepreneurial training for school
drop-outs is also provided.

and death of the family
unit." - Major Mohammed Tanko, Military

Message from the
President/Founder...
 ...A
teenaged pregnant school girl. An HIV/AIDS
patient forsaken by
family and friends. AIDS-orphan lacking social
support. A broken home. A
battered wife. A child-slave.
The Action Family Network invites you
to extend an active hand in
the task of salvaging the fortunes of our
common humanity - in
practical terms. You can offer your time, talent or
financial contributions
towards reviving and empowering the family in its unique
function as the
basic unit of every society. We must dress our common root so
that the
universal tree of humanity will ultimately revive and flourish.
For
'the future of the world and the Church passes by way of the family...'
Let us begin
with my family, with your family.
Yours in the service of
our Human Family,
Dr.E.I.B.Okechukwu.
