IFFD programs work in 68 countries on the five continents in collaboration with an extensive network of volunteers.  In Singapore, IFFD programs are offered under the umbrella of the Family Enrichment Society.

​

Family enrichment activity began in the mid-sixties with the development of support programs for parents based on the case method: a useful way of promoting dialogue about real situations which avoids imposing our own ideas or dismissing other people’s.
After more than 30 years experience of carrying out these courses, the International Federation for Family Development was founded in Orlando (Florida), as a union of non-denominational, non-profit, independent and private Family Enrichment Centres. The headquarters is in Spain, where the first courses started.

​

IFFD has General Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and regularly organises international congresses on the family

 
Their Work and Philosophy

​

Since 1978, IFFD has worked to promote and support a broad variety of initiatives for families and married couples. 

​

They are convinced of the importance and irreplaceable role of the family in the happiness of its members, as well as for peace and social cohesion, for general welfare and educational development, and for economic growth and successful integration into society. They do not discriminate on the grounds of race, colour, religion, sex or national origin.
