Empowering moms like Eva to move from fear to joy

Eva Megawati br Barus, a 40-year-old homemaker with three children, has undergone significant positive changes after participating in the FH Education program. Previously, she had limited understanding of education and often struggled to control her emotions, especially in her interactions with her children. She tended to dominate decisions without considering her children's wishes. However, through the FH program, Eva has experienced remarkable emotional growth. She learned to control her anger and understand the importance of listening to the individual wishes and needs of each child. As a result, she has become more patient and wise in raising her children. Eva has also increased her involvement in her children's education and is committed to providing them with the opportunity to continue their education to a higher level. Furthermore, she has implemented practices learned from the FH program, such as reading books to her children and actively participating in their school activities. These changes have not only had a positive impact on the relationship between Eva and her children but also on the overall quality of her family's education and understanding. Eva describes that the FH program has brought profound changes to her life, improving her family relationships and giving her new insights into the importance of her children's education and well-being.

Have you ever lied awake at night, terrified your kids would drop out of school and end up working in the fields like other children in your village?  Eva, a loving mom in Indonesia, constantly worried her little ones would become child laborers. And she didn’t know how to help them.  Fearful and frustrated, she […]
