People living with OVC 61.9 % o f OVC student respondents were living with care givers/guardians 14.3 % wer e living with their parents 23.8 % o f OVC respondents were living with their relatives 63 % of guardians/caregivers were living with Girts OVC 60 % of guardians/caregivers were living with Boys. Findings Cont Difference i n School Performanc e 71.4 % o f respondent teachers agree d having these differences. Reasons - lac k of exercise books, pens, some OVC had n o good relationship wit h their caregivers/guardians, psychological problems.

Findings cont Strategies t o empower OV C parents/guardians/caregivers 62 % - establis h SACCOS 25 % - grou p projec t e g bread makin g 33 % - suppor t OVC direct

Conclusion Th e impact of HIV/AIDS and economi c constraints on children and families is too wide for any organization or body concerned with development to ignore, and too great for any single body to address them unilaterally. Communit y and other stakeholders need to participate OV C should be taken as community responsibility NOT family issue. Recommendations There wer e eleven recommendation s made durin g th e study. However, projec t focuse d on three recommendations. Du e to the capacit y o f th e organization (WAMLU)an d financia l constraints Recommendations cont.... Communit y members should be in the forefront t o support/assist CBOs, NGOs which deal with OV C Psychosocia l support and encouragement should be given to OVC in their studies because most of them are psychologicall y affected. Supportin g OVC parents/guardians/parents economically will reduce the burden they have and give more room to OVC to attend and concentrate with education rather than being involved in petty businesses. Implementation OVC received 68 out of 126 mosquito nets from PSI Handing over 68 mosquito nets to OVC students Bought desks for school Implementation Cont.
