OVC Program

Lehlohonolo Khate OVC Program

The PIH Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) program is designed to support children under the age of 18 who have lost one or both parents - particularly those whose parents have died from multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and/or are at risk due to neglect or abandonment.

Our Impact

Orphaned and Vulnerable Children program (OVC) empowers and responds to the social needs of OVCs by providing psychosocial support including monthly food parcels, tuition fees, clothing, counselling and medical care.
