The Olive Leaf Foundation ANCHOR program's overarching goal is to improve the quality of life of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in sub Saharan Africa. ANCHOR seeks to achieve this goal through 3 strategic objectives that focus on:

1. Increasing care and support services to OVC.

2. Strengthening the capacity of families to cope with their problems.

3. Mobilizing and strengthening community based responses.

The ANCHOR program has a linkage with the Partnership Framework goal 4 "To provide comprehensive and quality treatment, care and support services to people infected and affected by HIV". This goal is connected to the ANCHOR program's strategic objective 1 of "Increasing care and support services to OVC". Work has been done to meet this objective which includes establishing a teen club, provision of HIV prevention and life skill training to OVC and having kid's club activities in over 28 sites.

The program has established 28 sites in the Molepolole area. These include 15 primary schools, 3 junior secondary schools, 7 kid's clubs and 3 day care centres.

Their activities are being funded through the pipeline, they do not require additional funding this year.
