WHAT WE DO
- Mapping of vulnerable children and youth for sponsorship through community leadership structures. This is a participatory activity where community leaders such as local leaders and religious leaders are involved in the identification and selection process. Sponsorship is done for children in primary school, secondary school, university and tertiary institutions for vocational training for youths.
- Conducting household needs assessment to inform livelihoods interventions at household level. This is conducted after a vulnerable child has been identified, selected and enrolled for the sponsorship program. After the needs assessment, financial literacy is conducted prior to provision of start-up capital. Business survival and progress monitoring is conducted quarterly for up to 1.5 years.
- Development of training manuals for the caregivers and other materials on child protection and financial literacy for the households enrolled and caregivers within the schools and home. This is done in close collaboration with the ministry of Gender.
- Supporting youth with vocational skills training and equipping them with start-up capital. This intervention mainly targets GBV survivors, youth that have dropped out of schools due to pregnancy among other concerns.
