tailieunhanh - Psychosocial conditions of orphans and vulnerable children in two Zimbabwean districts

In 2002, the Human Sciences Research Council was commissioned by the WK Kellogg Foundation to develop and implement a five-year intervention project focusing on orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in southern Africa. In collaboration with several partner organizations, the project currently focuses on how children, families and communities in Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe are coping with the impact of HIV/AIDS. The aim of the project is to develop models of best practise so as to enhance and improve support structures for OVC in the southern African region as a whole | Psychosocial issues affecting orphaned and vulnerable children in two South African communities Free download from Leickness c Simbayi Sharon Kleintjes Tsakani Ngomane Oily EM Tabane Sakhumzi Mfecane Alicia Davids Nelson Mandela CHILDREN S FUND OIANCJNG1W AAV SOCIETY TWATS ITS f ll OREN AND YOUTH .
