Family Nurturing
Recognising that family and community are big influences in a child’s life, we extend our programming to not just the child but to their caregivers and the community at large as well.
By working with both children as well as their families through a two-generation model approach, we ensure knowledge continuity which maximizes learning across all areas of child’s life – this is how real change occurs and sustains over the long-term.
Orphans & Vulnerable Children (OVC)
The OVC program aims to strengthen community agency to seek, support and provide HIV/AIDS related services to Orphaned & Vulnerable Children [OVC] and their parents/caregivers.Our Community Service Providers [CSP] deliver comprehensive outreach services through home visits where they administer HIV Risk Assessments, educate clients on the importance of knowing their status through testing, and make referrals to HIV testing services based on assessment results. For HIV positive clients, our CSPs provide adherence support which includes treatment literacy, age-appropriate counselling and HIV disclosure support.
Our CSPs also regularly engage community members in income generating activities such as Perma-Garden training, where members of the community learn how to grow vegetables in their own backyards for both consumption and selling. In addition, our Young Mothers support group offers targeted services to mothers up to 24 years old, including the opportunity to learn positive parenting skills, family planning & contraceptive methods, and career skills to help them provide for their little ones.
