The
objectives of Care Africa Network are:
-
To empower communities in Africa to continue
to meet the holistic needs of orphans and other children in need.
-
To disseminate knowledge of innovating ideas
and successful methods of meeting children's needs in challenging situations
thus benefitting more children.
-
To promote and support communities in
developing culturally appropriate initiatives to meet the particular needs of
their children.
-
To advocate and raise awareness of the needs
of orphans and vulnerable children in Africa.
-
To campaign for the support of community
development projects which enable the needs of orphans and other children in
need to be met within their extended family and community.
- To promote
the support and development of African community-care systems to benefit
future generations of orphans and other children and adults in need.
Our role
Knowledge
of successful initiatives must be made available to benefit other children
elsewhere. After consultation with the heads of children's services in
Lesotho, Eswatini, Kenya, and Uganda and many
others, Care Africa Network enables this by:
-
Reviewing some of the best
community-development projects for orphans and children in need in these four
countries.
-
Disseminating ideas and methods which are
effective in enabling families to provide good care, so as to benefit more
children in need.
-
Providing consultation and training to enable
communities to develop culturally appropriate initiatives to meet the
particular needs of their children.
-
Providing needs-led training as requested for
an effective method of treating children suffering from Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder.
-
Where needed, providing initial small capital
input for income-generating projects, which will enable self-sufficiency for
the future.
-
Advertising the work of good organisations to
raise their profile and facilitate their access to funding.
-
Promoting the support of a
community-development approach to meeting needs of children in the developing
world and particularly in Africa.
