7. How We Help: CREATE A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION Empower and enable villages to provide support services Empower and enable families to increase household income

8. Critical Components: Most Vulnerable Children Committee (MVCC): Orphaned and vulnerable children need psychological, social and legal support. We form volunteer villagers into committees and give them extensive training on identifying vulnerable children, defining their needs and providing support on an individual basis. Income Generating Cooperative (CO-OP): Adults who care for vulnerable children often lack the income to provide for their increased family. We organize these families into income generating cooperatives, providing seed capital, technical training and at least two years of follow up support. AFRICA BRIDGE: Our mission is to listen to Tanzanian children and empower their communities to protect, support and care for orphaned and vulnerable children through integrated sustainable development
