Through an internal OVC program, we support families affected or infected by HIV/AIDS. With support from partners like SIDECOLE and MARATHON, the program provides educational assistance and essential scholastic materials such as uniforms, shoes, school bags, and stationery to children from vulnerable households.
Using the Household Vulnerability Assessment Tool (HVAT), ROM identifies and supports OVCs through services aligned with key program areas: Education and Development, Survival and Health, Economic Stability, Care and Protection, and Food and Nutrition.
The program aims to:
- Improve school attendance and academic performance
- Reduce school dropout rates
- Relieve the financial burden on caregivers
- Promote inclusive, equitable education for all children
