The Institute of Family Design, Dynamics and Development exist to bridge the gap between emotional need and practical support for individuals, couples, and families.
We believe families are the foundation of society, and when designed intentionally, guided wisely, and nurtured holistically, they become sources of stability, healing, and purpose.
Our Aims
- To empower individuals, couples, and families through values-based education, counseling, and coaching.
- To foster emotional, relational, and psychological wellness using integrative, faith-sensitive approaches.
- To equip communities with tools for healing, growth, and sustainable family life transformation.
- We also aim to raise awareness and build capacity for healthy relationship practices in Africa and beyond because we understand that life is a dance of undulating highs and lows.
Some lows deeper than others.
Some lows hit harder than others, leaving wounds, marks and scars in their wake; and often a time future life experiences are interpreted, coloured and even judged by these lows.
As a result, some great opportunities are missed, beautiful people hurt and life becomes an endless cycle of…you know what.
This is why, we at Institute of Family Design, Dynamics and Development, your trusted healing partner are here to offer you healing and clarity.
