The project conducts household visits, home-based care and household economic strengthening to support orphans and vulnerable children and the families with whom they live.

 

Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the project aims to expand service coverage by working with parnters from non-governmental, faith and community-based organizations and relevant Government of Kenya Ministries, including the Ministries of Labor, Social Security and Services, Health, Education, Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries.

 

The project also strengthens local community-based organizations so that they are better able to conduct needs assessments, make referrals and provide direct services for orphans and vulnerable children in their community.
