A child without a family still needs one
Across the communities HMD serves, orphaned and abandoned children — and those from the most disadvantaged households — face compounding risks: no stable shelter, no guaranteed schooling, and no consistent access to healthcare or protection from abuse and exploitation.
These children can’t wait for a broader development programme to eventually reach them. They need direct, coordinated care now — shelter, school, health, and safety, together.
- Ensure every orphaned or vulnerable child has safe shelter and care.
- Protect children from abuse, neglect and exploitation.
- Support children’s health, education and emotional wellbeing.

From vulnerable to cared for
Getting an orphaned child into stable care and school
Many children without family care face significant challenges, including the lack of a safe home, access to education, and essential healthcare services. To address these needs, the child was placed in a supportive care environment, enrolled in school, and provided with routine medical check-ups to ensure their physical well-being.
This holistic approach created a stable foundation for growth and development, leading to consistent school attendance, improved access to healthcare, and a safer, more nurturing environment. This example is illustrative and should be updated with verified project outcomes once they become available.
