The branch has so far reached 45 youth caregiver households including 96 children (OVC) in manyatta slums which have 7 core sub-units. 45 House hold youth have been mobilized to form 3 youth working groups.
2 youth Working Groups are in the process of registering with the ministry of Gender and Social Development to be in a position to mobilize their own resources for sustainability.
Increased sense of belonging and free sharing among the OVCs. This can be seen during their meetings and when conducting group activities.
Increased commitment and working group meeting attendance and participation by the youth caregivers.
Mentors and opinion leaders have known their roles from the orientation of the giving hope methodology and are helping the youth caregiver OVC's to grow up as responsible people in the community.
