A Model for Community-Based Care for Orphans and Vulnerable Children: Nkundabana
Children affected by HIV and AIDS are regarded as the missing face in HIV and AIDS interventions. CARE Rwanda’s Nkundabana (Kinyarwanda for “I love children”) approach provides a community-based solution to child-headed households and households where adults are unable to provide adequate care for children. The Nkundabana model mobilizes adult volunteers from the community to provide guidance and care for children living in households without adult support. The Nkundabana model provides a foundation for economic and food security as well as child advocacy. The model also has excellent potential for long-term sustainability because the community is supported to work together to care for the children themselves.
