We Support Most Vulnerable Children

Information from Kelvin Ngonyani, Field Manager.

We do support the MVC, and although we have a common course toward this, we might vary in perspectives.

When someone comes and asks you.

Why economic strengthening is an important part of the program, let them know:

From MVC Economic Strengthening, families increase income security; families can have food security; families can reduce vulnerability; families improve their ability to care for and support their children, so children can meet their needs.

and why social support is important:

With social support, the community improves children’s protection; the community improves the psycho-social, physical, and emotional well-being of children; children will have a sense of belonging; the community will help children to become better adults.
