Story
Project Description
Applicants Welfare & Development Centre (AWANDEC) is launching a project to clothe over 3,000 Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) in rural communities in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. This project will help to buy clothes for these children (aged 0 to 17) who are mostly seen around naked with insufficient clothing.
The Challenge
Due to high rate of poverty, most rural parents could not afford to buy clothes (for social and Christmas wears) for their children. A lot of these children lost their parents due to HIV/AIDS. Currently, Akwa Ibom State has the highest HIV prevalence in Nigeria. AWANDEC has been providing these services to Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) for over 5 years now. We will provide clothes and foot wears for 3,000 Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) aged (0-17) this Christmas.
The Children Need your Help
Your support will provide clothes and shoes because no child in our world should go naked. A small gift of $10 will provide clothes for one child. 100% of your donation goes to purchasing clothes for kids! Each child is assigned a Community Case Worker (CCW) from AWANDEC. Our Community Case Worker (CCW) works with each child to provide an opportunity to select and purchase clothing from local clothes stores.
Our Work with Orphans and Vulnerable Children
For over 20 years, our service interventions entail touching lives of the poorest of the poor in the typical rural and urban communities through service delivery, advocacy and engagement with the duty bearers to meet the felt needs of the less privileged in the society. Currently, we have provided care and support, daily vocational education and training and improved the lives of over 15,000 Orphans and Vulnerable Children, 4,000 Caregivers, vocational skills/education to over 2,800 adolescent youths in Akwa Ibom State
The meaning of what a gift means is foreign to them. Providing them with gifts is a gesture that they will experience for the first time and that they will not forget in their whole life. This is a tremendous gesture that will provide treasure and happiness to them as they grow up and mature.
