Challenge

Due to increasing deaths of people because of HIV/AIDS so many children have been left as orphans with no body to take care of them and giving them support. Most of the children are left with their poor grandparents and some are left homeless hence ending up on streets. Only 11% of urban births and 3.4% of rural births are registered, meaning that the majority of children are denied this basic right. Approximately 96% of the poor, the majority of whom are women, live in rural areas (UBOS, 2000

Solution

1) To improve the quality of life of the orphans and vulnerable children by establishing a permanent home, school and health care centre for them. 2) To train care givers in care giving skills to enable these children get adequate care, love and support 3) To provide adequate education to these children to make them good citizens and have a better future through good education right from a tender age 4) To create awareness to the community and outside world the need to protect and support

Long-Term Impact

Reviving the hopes of disadvantaged children by creating opportunities for them to be skilled, self-sufficient and productive hence reducing poverty.
