What we do
Apprenticeship training
We targeted the needy out of school OVC between 15-17 years who did not stand chances of joining the formal education system.
The OVC were carefully vetted, placed with local artisan to undertake different courses of their choice for a min 6 months after which they join the job market.

Child protection
Child protection structures exist within the Government systems but are not fully functional. In order to ensure children within the target areas are protected. Our organization identified such structures and where they lack, new structures are formed. These include Area Advisory Councils (AACs) and child protection team/committees.
Access to medical services to OVC
We aim to increase access to basic medical services for the Community level through the following ways:
- Dissemination of basic health information to OVC households
- Facilitating registration of OVC and their households.
