Caminando con Amor is a Family Strengthening Intervention for Early Childhood Development (FSI-ECD).

In this program, parents or caregivers living in Colombia are provided with guidance and support in order to help them enhance the upbringing of their children under 36 months of age. Caregiving skills, nutrition, child health and hygiene, stress management, conflict resolution, and positive parenting are all part of the program.
