Education Program
The term “highly vulnerable children” (HVC) generally refers to individuals under age 18 whose safety, well-being, and/or development is at significant risk due to inadequate care, protection or access to essential services. HVC include those who are orphaned; receive inadequate adult support because of death, abandonment, economic distress, or chronic illness; have HIV/AIDS or are suspected of having HIV; are directly affected by armed conflict; live outside of family care; or are otherwise unsupported by traditional social safety nets in their communities.
Mzee advocates and promotes education for HVC as we believe education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty for the vulnerable.
