09.C.OV10: Hope World Wide - OVC Support for Molepolole

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY2008

From COP08:

In FY2008, through competitive bidding, a Prime Partner will be selected to work with the communities in

Molepolole to increase their capacity to provide care and support services to OVC and their families that are

affected by HIV/AIDS. Local communities will be mobilized, engaged and their capacities strengthened to

absorb the growing numbers of orphans and other children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. The local

communities will be empowered to care for and support children impacted by HIV/AIDS and prevent further

spread of HIV; improve their welfare by increasing access to education, adequate food, psychosocial

support, basic health services, legal rights and to catalyze a public-private partnership to expand the

resources available to sustain provision of the above services to OVC.

Program activities will be community-run and the implementing partner will be the main facilitator to ensure

quality provision of services to OVC.

The implementing partner will support community based organizations to identify and replicate proven

techniques, and promote the sharing of technical expertise between organizations. OVC will benefit

through direct support to meet their basic and psychosocial needs, food, school fees, clothing, health care,

recreation and social activities with peers to foster belonging.

This project will ensure that relevant OVC guidelines and frameworks are used. Use of existing training

manuals already developed by relevant government ministries or other stakeholders will be fostered.

Collaboration and creating linkages with other OVC serving organizations will be facilitated.

Community based organizations will carry out community and resource mobilization activities. Communities

will be educated on the needs of OVC and encouraged to be "part of a solution" rather than a hindrance in

ensuring that these children have access to basic services and continue to live a normal life free of stigma

and discrimination.

This project aspires to continue to scale up going OVC activities in Molepolole. The project will target 0 - 17

years orphans and other children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS, their families, and the community at large.

The implementing partner will collaborate with the Department of Social Services, under the Ministry of

Local Government to ensure quality provision of services, coordination, monitoring of OVC programs. The

implementing Partner will also collaborate with other OVC serving organizations and share lessons learnt in

OVC programming.
