Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children (OVC) Empowerment
Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children (OVCs) & their households are provided with support to increase income and improve psycho-social health of the participating adults, & especially those living with HIV/AIDS. Breeds and varieties of Maize, beans, Kroilers and vegetable seeds are procured and distributed to their families for Income Generation. Aid Uganda also gives OVCs aged 15 years and above and their care givers trainings in business support interventions to improve knowledge & skills in business management. This is to give/enhance the ability of the participants to identify viable business opportunities. OVC care givers are helped to establish Self Help Groups where care givers will take part in saving and credit/Voluntary Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs).
