As part of the Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Program (CHAMP), CHF spearheaded innovative work with orphans and other vulnerable children (OVCs), including the successful formation of annual holiday camps for secondary school OVC.
During the 3-5 day camp, OVCs address such topics as responsible decision-making, child rights and responsibilities, civic duties towards peace and reconciliation, and self-confidence building, in addition to broader HIV and health-related topics. The program, known as “Haranira Kuba Indatwa” or “Strive for Excellence” uses anecdotes, poetry, skits and illustrations to articulate messages and was designed with input from the Government of Rwanda, local partners, and OVC themselves. A Teacher’s Guide and Manual was developed to assist in facilitating and replicating the process throughout Rwanda.
