Vulnerable Children Project: Benue State, NigeriaCEDPA/Nigeria developed the Vulnerable Children Project in response to the growing problem of children affected by HIV/AIDS, with the goal to improve the quality of life for children aged 0–15 years. The project's impact in the first 36 months includes: 1) increased enrollment and lower school dropout rates for the orphans involved in the project; 2) reduction in the level of stigmatization of orphans and their families; 3) enhancement of the self-esteem of the orphans; 4) enhanced capacity of caregivers and implementing partners; and 5) improved access to medical care for the very poor. Next steps focus on modifying the project, by refining its objectives to ensure longer-term sustainability through strengthening existing community and government structures to provide for orphans and vulnerable children and families affected by HIV/AIDS.
