Orphans and Vulnerable Children

Orphans and Vulnerable Children

Save the Children provides comprehensive care and support for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) through nine programs across five countries, namely Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, and Haiti. Save the Children's programs respond to the needs of children affected by AIDS through a comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach: building community capacity to provide basic safety and protection, psychosocial support, food security, economic strengthening, and access to basic health and education services. Our programs are tailored to meet the age-specific needs of the child affected by AIDS, and use whole child programming and family-centered approaches to ensure comprehensive needs are met and appropriate linkages to services and care are made.
