Stronger Families, Empowered Communities
Promoting healthy marriages, responsible parenting, and dignity for all.
Who We Are?
MAPCO is a non-governmental organization dedicated to empowering families through marriage support, parenting education, and community engagement. We believe that strong relationships are the foundation of peaceful, thriving societies.
We work with individuals, couples, and communities to build a culture of love, responsibility, and emotional well-being. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, culturally sensitive methods, and participatory community engagement.
Our Impact in Numbers
Changing lives through strong marriages, empowered parenting, and compassionate support.
These numbers reflect lives touched, relationships rebuilt, and futures transformed — thanks to your support.
Who We Serve
Supporting individuals, couples, and communities for stronger family foundations.
Women
We empower women with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to thrive in their roles as partners, mothers, caregivers, and leaders. Through counselling, training, and community dialogue, we address issues such as gender-based violence, marital conflict, and economic vulnerability.
Children (incl. street children & children on the move)
We provide protection, education, and emotional support to children, especially those living in vulnerable conditions including street-connected children and those displaced or on the move. Our child-centered programs promote safe environments, mental wellness, and family reintegration where possible.
Adolescents
We engage adolescents through life-skills training, mentorship, and reproductive health education to prepare them for responsible adulthood. Our interventions help reduce risky behavior, promote healthy relationships, and build resilience among youth in school and out of school.
Victims of violence
We support individuals affected by domestic violence, emotional abuse, and other forms of trauma by offering counselling, advocacy, and referral services. Our goal is to help survivors rebuild their self-worth, safety, and sense of belonging within the community.
Survivors of trafficking
MAPCO works to identify, support, and reintegrate survivors of human trafficking particularly women and children by providing psycho social support, legal guidance, and skills development to foster healing and independence.
Other marginalized groups
We stand with those often excluded or unheard in society including people with disabilities, single parents, orphans, and those facing stigma or discrimination. Our inclusive approach ensures no one is left behind in the journey toward social and emotional well-being.

Our Projects
Driving positive change across communities.
Strengthening Marriages
This project focuses on equipping couples with the tools, communication skills, and emotional awareness necessary for building healthy, lasting relationships. Through pre-marital and marital counselling, couple retreats, and group discussions, we aim to reduce conflict, enhance intimacy, and promote unity within families. Strong marriages build the foundation for peaceful communities.
Parenting Workshops
Our parenting workshops are designed to empower caregivers with modern, practical strategies for raising emotionally healthy and responsible children. Covering topics like positive discipline, child development, and parental self-care, these sessions foster stronger parent-child bonds and reduce household stress creating safer, more nurturing homes.
Digital Safety for Children
As technology becomes a growing part of children's lives, this project helps families navigate the digital world safely. We educate children, parents, and educators on cyberbullying, online predators, privacy, and responsible internet use. The goal is to protect children from digital harm and empower them to use technology wisely.
What Our Clients Say

MAPCO helped us reconnect as a couple during a very difficult time in our marriage. The marriage sessions were practical, respectful, and deeply healing. We’re not only partners again — we’re stronger parents too
