Family Renaissance International exists to help families become what they were always meant to be — the first school, the first government, and the first altar of a nation.
Family Renaissance International was founded by Onwioduokit, author of The Family in National Development — the book from which our entire teaching curriculum is drawn. Writing from years of watching how national issues in education, crime, and community breakdown trace back to conditions in the home, the founder set out to give families and community leaders a practical, values-based path forward.
That path became this organization: a place where the founder's teaching is translated into workshops, mentorship, and action plans that ordinary families and community leaders can put to use.
Absent fathers, strained marriages, and disconnected parenting ripple outward into schools, neighborhoods, and public life.
We equip couples and parents with practical skills, and we mobilize communities — churches, schools, NGOs, and local leaders — around family-strengthening programs.
When each family is strong, the whole nation grows healthier and more prosperous — one household, one community at a time.
We believe spiritual formation — prayer, devotion, and a shared "family altar" — is what gives a home its stability and direction.
A respectful, communicative marriage is the load-bearing wall of a healthy home. We invest heavily in premarital and ongoing marriage support.
We take father absence seriously and work to close that gap — through training for men and mentorship for children who lack a father figure.
Research and experience agree: a child's first and most influential teacher is their own parent. We equip parents to own that role with confidence.
Through "neighbourhood watchers" and local partnership, we believe every child benefits from a community that looks out for them, not just a household.
Families face conflict, trauma, and hardship. We teach recovery and resilience, not just ideals, because real homes need both.
“Training a child well sets them on a good path for life.” Proverbs 22:6
Our curriculum draws on biblical wisdom about marriage, parenting, and community — translated into concrete, weekly practices any family can begin today.
