Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC)
Orphans and vulnerable children anywhere in the world are among the most at risk groups. They are often at the mercy of harsh weather, in conflict with the law, attempting to escape abuse or struggling to make it to the next day. However, reintegrating them to the society start with education, Elizabeth Foundation has identified with 500 of these children. We aim at providing scholarship education that will cover their feeding, accommodation and tuition/school fee. Over 50% of 10.5 million Out - of - School are orphans, when orphans are properly catered for, this escalated school drop out will reduce drastically

MY STORY :
Provision of free land space and seedlings has helped improve my productivity, Elizabeth Cooperative farming has made life easy for me and my children, expanding this initiative will help more women like me out of extreme poverty
I have been a widow with four children over ten years. Since my late husband died, there has not been any financial assistance from family members and my family never cares about my children, thanks to Elizabeth Foundation through her empowerment and scholarship programme, my children and I have benefitted from the scheme. I was given a piece of land to cultivate cassava, maize, groundnut and the likes. The intervention programme have taken my kids back to school and my life since I met Elizabeth Foundation has greatly been impacted positively.
