Achievements and Implications of Care and Support Programme among Orphans and...QUESTJOURNAL
Ā
Background: In Nigeria, children who need special protection on the account of being in vulnerable situations are observably increasing due to growing levels of poverty and the poor socio-economic situation of the country and it is necessary to ameliorate the problem by strengthening the capacity of families. This article therefore presents the achievements of care and support programme among orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Bayelsa State, Nigeria as well as the implications for future programming. Methods: The project was an intervention study carried out among OVC in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Four civil society organizations were engaged by Bayelsa State Agency for the Control of AIDS (BYSACA) under HIV and AIDS Fund (HAF) II project to provide care and support services for OVC. The target population consisted of paternal orphan or maternal orphan, double orphan and vulnerable children whose parents are infected with HIV but alive in six local government areas. A total of 3000 was an estimated sample size for this intervention and data were collected using various data reporting tools and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Results: The total number of OVC reached during the project period was 5410 given a target reached of 180.3%. Among these, 87.7% of the children were reached with at least one service, 74.9% were reached with psychosocial services, nutrition (37.4%), educational services (33.3%), healthcare services (9.5%) and protection services (4.4%). Thirty-five children withdrawn from the programme and two children reported died during this project. Conclusion: Efforts to care, support and protect vulnerable children should not only focus on their immediate survival needs such as food, education, water, shelter and clothing, but also on long-term developmental needs that reduce children's vulnerability such as life skills, child protection, vocational training, food security, and household economic strengthening.

The objective of the study was to identify factors contributing to malnutrition among HIV positive
children aged between 6 and 60 months. The study utilized a non experimental descriptive design. It was a
hospital based study conducted at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospital pediatric wards. A total of 30 children and
30 caregivers were recruited through convenience sampling. The children had a confirmed diagnosis of
malnutrition, confirmed HIV positive, aged between 6 and 60 months and had to have a present caregiver
during data collection. There were no dropouts. The main outcome measure were anthropometric measurements
of the children namely; height, weight and mid upper arm circumference and the various stressors contributing
to malnutrition. Twenty-two (73.33%) children were males and 8 (26.66%) were females. Contributing factors
to malnutrition identified were presence other illnesses such as diarrhea, pneumonia, tuberculosis and

3. IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATING
PEOPLE ABOUT AIDS
ļ¶Education is an effective tool to reduce the social and economic
vulnerabilities that often make girls and women more prone to become
infected with HIV/AIDS.
ļ¶Education raises awareness. Educated women are more likely to prevent
the spread of the disease to their children, as they understand the
importance of testing during pregnancy and are mindful of the risk of
HIV/AIDS transmission via breastfeeding.
ļ¶Education increases the tolerance and empathy of individuals who have
contracted the disease.
ļ¶By addressing fears and changing attitudes, education reduces
discrimination and stigmas.
ļ¶Educated children and youth have a better chance to protect themselves
with access to all the facts about HIV/AIDS.
4. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
ļ¶ Use a condom during sexual intercourse.
ļ¶ Avoid sharing syringes.
ļ¶ When getting a tattoo or piercing, make sure the
material is new and disposable or sterilized.
ļ¶ Use disposable gloves when at risk of direct contact with blood.
ļ¶ For HIV positive women, consider giving birth by caesarian
section.
ļ¶ For HIV positive women who are new mothers, consider
feeding your baby with formula instead of breastfeeding.
