Our Mission Statement

We shall promote an environment in which orphans and vulnerable children are cared for, supported, bodily, mentally, socially, morally, spiritually and with an emphasis on education, nutrition and social support to facilitate a meaningful life.

The Project seeks to be inclusive of all children without prejudice of religious affiliation, background or illness. The Project aims to welcome vulnerable children from all parts of Mwandi regardless of their background or history. In Mwandi, 20% of the general population are HIV positive, with a child population of approximately 3000, of which almost two thirds are orphans or considered to be vulnerable. The Mwandi UCZ OVC Project currently attempts to mitigate the effects of these startling statistics in a number of ways.
