Community Based Program for Orphaned and Vulnerable Children
HCI-Kenya works with the caregivers to build family capacity to support orphaned and vulnerable children (OVCs). We support orphaned and vulnerable children who are community based. We support these children by providing them with Educational support which consists of School uniform and tuition fees whenever needed, nutritional supplements which is basically some food for the family, A mosquito net for the prevention of Malaria, a lantern since most of them do not have electricity in their houses for studying and a Blanket to keep warm. Our field workers monitor these children monthly both at home and in school and also conduct trainings for their caregivers to ensure that they are safe and growing up in a safe environment. We also seek to link them with sponsors that will continue supporting their education and growth.
