The NGO has pledges to reduce poverty, educate the local populace about HIV/AIDS, improving the lives of the CHILDREN in community by providing safe environment for the orphaned and vulnerable children in remote areas. Particular emphasis will be placed on caring for OVC, a population group recognized as neglected. At this point, the organization has also planned to expand its scope of work to include an array of services and activities geared toward improving the lives of OVC. We have a strong conviction that where possible, the children should be place in a family environment where they will be shown affection. This will make them holistic individuals as they grow up.
