PROJECT REPORT STRENGTHEN 100 VULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDS IN CALABAR NOVEMBER 2021
INTRODUCTION
The Professor Charles Effiong Foundation has in the preceding quarter provided services in the four service domains (stable, safe, schooled, and healthy) to her beneficiaries. These services were provided in order to continuously build the skills of caregivers to provide the basic needs of children in their care.
Home visits, school visits, Kids and Adolescents Club Meetings (KCM), and Caregivers’ Forum (CF) were strategies used to conduct assessments and as well as provide services to both caregivers and children. A total of 30 Households (30 caregivers; 6 males and 24 females; 57 children; 30 males and 27 females) were visited during the quarter. A total of 4 primary schools with 9 children (8 males and 1 female) and 8 secondary schools with 33 children (14 males and 19 females) were visited in the quarter. KCM and CF were conducted in the reporting period where 23 caregivers (4 males and 19 females) and 49 Children (18 males and 31 females) were in attendance. The following are issues gathered from the visits and meetings;
Following the issues identified, several services were planned and provided on the various service domains;
As mentioned in our last quarter's next step, the Foundation concluded on its market assessment exercise in her project communities. Based on its findings, caregivers were counseled on the kind of income-generating activities to engage in taking into consideration their individual interest, level of income, the demand rates of the products in the community, and seasonality of the product. As mentioned in our last quarter plan that based on the funds raised, the Foundation shall provide start-up packs for beneficiaries.
Monitoring and Evaluation: As is the policy in Charles Edet Effiong Foundation and in line with the national protocol of service provision to beneficiaries, services provided were updated on each household and beneficiary’s folders. Data quality assessment was run on the database to track data entry gaps, and corrections were effected and documented.
OUR NEXT STEPS: For the next fiscal year 2022, the Foundation is intensely mobilizing for resources that will aid in the empowerment of household caregivers in the provision of start-up packs to boost financial capacity and thus improve children’s wellbeing. We appreciate our partners who continue to play an important role in improving the lives of vulnerable households in Calabar. Your kind support means a lot to our team and the children we support. As we all navigate our way out of the current global crisis, we appreciate your kind and continuous support towards strengthening the livelihoods of the vulnerable households who have been impacted disproportionately economically by the global pandemic.
