General performance of the children is average, because our children feed at home and at school, we pray that the system continues.

Nursery

Our children in this section are active and healthy.

Feeding at school

Each of the four groups contribute food for children to have mid day meals.

Feeding at home.

The OVCs are provided with food to feed at home.

Child headed families also get some assistance of food for supper and weekends.

Those near the centres feed at school 

Scholastic materials

If we get funds.

We are looking forward to providing materials.

Uniform:

All children OVCs will be provided with uniforms when funds from our donors are realized.

Fees top up

Are always provided for OVCs and if funds realized for 2017 it will be the same.

Health

Our children keep healthy as they practice the long term survival skills e.g. balanced diet, clean towel, clean compound at their homes and at school.

Counseling and guidance is provided for both boys and girls.

Health kits training is done for girls.

HIV/AIDS, Children

These children are self aware of themselves no stress and no stigma.

Our counselors always reach their homes.

Each group of the four take of these children and make sure that they go for their septrins or ARVs.

Challenges

Hardship in getting drugs for the HIV/AID positive children due to lack of transport.

Child headed families need extra care by their mother groups from where they originate.

Developments

From late June our children are feeding well because there is a great improvement in performance at their respective places of learning our children are smart because they put, on uniform from funds provided by our donors through River Fund.

Suggestions

If funds realized in time, scholastic materials should be provided immediately after Christmas.

Transport for, HIV/AIDs positive living children to go for their drugs and exchange visits to other groups to see how they leave.

Child headed families (children) caused by HIV/AIDs need shelter. Some of them are desperate.

Centres should be formed to maintain day care for OVC for healthy and strong children.
