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, Swaziland, Kenya, and Uganda and many others, Care Africa Network enables this by:

̶          Reviewing the best community-development projects for orphans and vulnerable children 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.

̶          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
