Between May and October 2019, we played a crucial role in the Comprehensive Assistance, Support, and Empowerment for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (CASE-OVC) project, implemented by Christian Aid. This initiative aimed to address the socio-economic challenges faced by OVC households across 18 counties by strengthening household economic capacity, delivering direct services to children and caregivers, and enhancing the formal and informal systems supporting OVC welfare.

Our focus was on empowering caregivers, predominantly women, to adopt market-based solutions within value chains such as poultry, livestock, green grams, onions, and indigenous vegetables. Through capacity building in production techniques, entrepreneurial skill development, and fostering market linkages, we enabled caregivers to generate sustainable incomes, ultimately improving the livelihoods of vulnerable households and contributing to the long-term welfare of OVCs.
