Why focus on children at risk (CAR) within an HIV and AIDS

pandemic• 5,7 million South Africa’s living with HIV • Levels of new infections – behaviour

change critical• 4 % of children are maternal orphans• Conservatively estimated to be 1 million• Children orphaned as a result of HIV and

AIDS 25% more likely abused• Reality of Child Headed Households

• Social Enterprise, social organisation within a business structure: (finance, HR etc)

• Technology Transfer – business management systems to civil society

(Management System for Orphans and Vulnerable Children, MSOVC)

Some Keys• In the Global Village – sufficient resources• Need to create people to people contact -

emotional link makes for sustainability• Put a face and identity to poverty and suffering

(statistics paralysing)• Menu driven – choice• Matched – individuals, households, cluster,

village• Secure• Reporting - Narrative emotional basis for long

CHILD STATUS INDEX

The CSI was developed in response to the request by PEPFAR, OGAC and OHA to assess vulnerabilities, needs and desired outcomes for OVCs.

It is used in Ethiopia, Rwanda, India, Cambodia and Swaziland.

It measures and produces in a simple way, based on a standardized evaluation form, a status index which is expressed as:

1 = Very Bad 2 = Bad 3 = Fair 4= GoodFor the following Domains:

What is the JRT?

JRT Functionality

What This Means• It is technically possible by relying on virtual

support clusters to mobilize resources to fund care cycles and development plans at individual, household, cluster and village level.

• The use of business information management systems and business intelligence tools to manage the whole system and process

• An automated administration system can be used to ensure security and efficiency and to cope with complexity

• We therefore scale care-based organisations from 15% to 60%

Opportunity• Promote good practice• Child Rights Framework• Family Based Care (family care units) UNHRC• Integrated community development• Employment creation• Poverty alleviation• Weave together holistic development • Real opportunity for the Church (Mat 25)

MillenniumDevelopmentGoals (MDG’s)

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger 2. Achieve universal primary education3. Promote gender equality and empower women 4) Reduce child mortality 5) Improve maternal health 6) Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases 7) Ensure environmental sustainability 8) Develop a global partnership for development

Challenges?

• Selection of children• Support without increasing risks • Conflicting Rights, Sponsors,

Caregivers, Children, NGO • Direct contact with Children?• Risks of dependency

Some Risks

• Building a Rolls Royce engine with 4 wheel drive capability!

• Technical sustainability• Funding• Manage expectations

Concluding Thoughts

• HCD Nation Building• Identifying Next Generation of

Leaders• Kingdom Expansion• Protocol of Heaven• Partnership with the Holy Spirit

“…Adoption” Worshippers

It is morally indefensible that we choose to live with problems

that can be solved
