This chapter presents and discusses the findings of the study. It examines the personal and situational characteristics of respondents which may influence their behaviors. Most respondents were female (58%) and between 26-45 years old (60%). The majority had no formal education (82%) and were married (53%). Household sizes were mostly 3-5 people (55%) and the main source of income was farming (68%). The personal and situational characteristics provide context for understanding the effects of services on vulnerable children in the region.
The student opinion survey report from Westmoor Elementary provides results from a survey of 240 students in grades 2-5. Overall, students reported positive experiences, with average scores above 3 on a 4-point scale for most survey items. Students felt most positive about their teachers wanting them to do their best (score of 3.82) and that the rules need to be followed (3.75). Areas receiving lower average scores included students showing respect for each other (2.86) and feeling their things left at school are safe (2.77). The report provides percentages of students who selected each response option to individual survey questions.
According to a survey of students:
- 58.4% felt the Students' Guild had a positive impact on their university experience, up slightly from 2011. Streatham students felt most positively about the Guild's impact.
- Over half of respondents understood how the Guild is run at an average level or better, though understanding was lower among Tremough students.
- Students felt the Guild's primary responsibilities were being students' voice, improving experience, and running societies. However, half felt offering student advice and support should be a primary responsibility.
This document discusses the fall of moral values among teenagers. A questionnaire was conducted with government officers, senior citizens, and students to analyze the issue. The findings show that lack of parental guidance and peer pressure are the main causes of declining morality. Effects include addiction, immoral activities, and crimes. Both genders are at risk, but females may be more vulnerable. Most respondents agreed that deteriorating morality is a serious problem that requires solutions like parental guidance, religious education, and knowledge.

The document discusses different approaches to learning Chinese characters. It argues that the traditional method of memorizing characters and writing them from memory is only useful for exams. A better modern approach is to focus on recognizing characters and learning their meanings. This involves learning how to input characters using an app, which requires getting familiar with stroke order by practicing handwriting. The document recommends writing characters in class and then looking them up after to learn the pinyin and pronunciation. It states that once you can confidently input characters you've seen, you can stop focusing on writing practice, but should continue looking up characters to expand your recognition and understanding over time.

Ford is the second largest manufacturer of cars and trucks after General Motors in 1995. Management felt the Fiesta brand could not compete with the Renault Twingo. This led to the creation of the Ford Ka attributed to Jack Nasser. Demographic variables can cause divisions between Ford Ka choosers and non-choosers. There are differences in perceptions between Ford Ka choosers and non-choosers in viewing the small car market, namely that small cars are more fuel efficient due to their aerodynamic design, safer than larger cars, and trendier - however small cars are not as comfortable as larger cars.

6. 4.3 DATA COLLECTED FROM SERVICE PROVIDERS ABOUT MVC
4.3.1 Age profile of MVC
The following information was gathered by the researcher in order to analyse the age
profile of MVC. The findings of the study were presented as shown in the table and
figure below;

The findings of the study show that 40% of MVC were aged 6-10 years, followed by
those aged between 11-15 years while those aged between 16-18 were the least. The
trend was similar for both, boys and girls. These findings suggest that the likelihood
of a child to become a MVC diminished as they get older, probably because, as the
children get older, they become able to take care of themselves.
7. 4.3.2 Education profile of MVC
The following information was gathered by the researcher in order to analyse the
education profile of MVC. The findings of the study were presented as shown in the
table and figure below;

having no education or dropping out of school is high.
8. 4.3.3 Place to sleep for MVC
The following information was gathered by the researcher in order to find out where
MVC sleep at night at the time they were identified. The findings of the study were
presented as shown in the table and figure below;

The findings of the study show that at the time they were identified by service
providers, 55% of MVC sleep on the street, 15% of respondents each sleep in
mosques and churches, Ghetto and at home. These findings suggest that majority of
MVC sleep on the street in places such as; shop verandas, road ditches and food
selling places.
9. 4.3.4 Number of years as MVC before being identified by service providers
The researcher analysed the feedback from service providers to establish for how long
MVC have been in that vulnerable situation before they were identified by the service
providers. The objective of asking this question was to determine whether the ability
of MVC to cope with life in the streets is determined by the number of years they
have been living in the streets. The feedback was presented as shown below;
Table 4.3.4: Number of years as MVC before being identified

The findings of the survey show that majority of MVC have been MVC for 5 years or
more. These findings show that majority of MVC are experienced with life in the
streets and are thus probably able to cope better compared to those who have been
living in the streets for a few number of years.
10. 4.3.5 Reasons for being MVC
Having collected demographics information about MVC, the researcher analysed the
feedback from service providers on the reasons for being MVC. The findings of the
survey were presented as shown in the table and figure below;
Table 4.3.5: Reasons for becoming MVC

The findings above show that 45% of respondents became MVC due to poverty
followed by 25% of respondents who became MVC die to orphanhood (loss of one
parents or both parents), 20% of respondents who became MVC due to separation of
parents and 10% of respondents became MVC due to abuse from parents, family
members of neighbours. On the issue of poverty, the researcher found out that most
respondents become MVC because their parents could no longer provide them with
basic needs namely; food, clothing and shelter. This is congruent with previous
findings on the level of household incomes in the study area.
11. 4.3.6 Problems faced by MVC
The researcher asked respondents to mention the problems faced by MVC before they
were identified and put under the care of service providers. The objective was to
findout whether services offered by service providers took in to consideration the
problems faced by MVC before they were identified.

12. 4.3.7 Coping mechanisms used by MVC on lack of food
To establish the coping mechanism used by MVC to cope with the problem of lack of
food, the researcher asked respondents to mention how MVC used to cope with tlack
of food before they were identified. The feedback from respondents was presented as

13. 4.3.8 Means of earning income used by MVC
To establish the way MVC used to earn income before they were identified, the
researcher analysed the feedback from respondents and the feedback from
respondents was documented as shown in the table and figure below;

14. 4.3.9 Mechanism used by MVC to cope with lack of health care
To establish the coping mechanism used by MVC to cope with the problem of lack of
health services before they were identified, the researcher asked respondents to
mention how MVC used to cope with lack of health care before they were idenified.
The feedback from respondents was presented as shown in the table and figure below;
Table 4.3.9: Mechanism used by MVC to cope with lack of health care

The findings reveal that out of 20 respondents, only 65% of respondents said that
MVC used to cope with lack of access to health services by going to hospital to ask
for free medical treatment or buy medicine from pharmacies if they have money. 25%
of respondents said that MVC cope by going to traditional healers while 10% of
respondents said that they cope with lack of access by sleeping off the illness. These
findings show that MVC are very vulnerable to health problems and that is their most
pressing need.
15. The researcher also observed that some preventable health problems occur to MVC
because they have no access to proper diagnosis and treatment or even hygiene and
sanitation. They rarely have access to facilities they need for their daily hygiene and
sanitation, such as toilets, and clean, safe water supply. Many MVC have suffered
chronic diseases, including typhoid, tuberculosis and malaria.
The researcher also found out that health problems faced by MVC are caused by the
fact that MVC are often barefooted; fighting with each other and beatings from police
and other people exposed them to many risks. Eating leftovers that were dirty, left
uncovered and exposed to flies, and led to various infections and diseases. Lack of
proper shelter and clothing exposed them to skin infections.
The researcher also found that, before they were identified, 55% of MVC observed
during the study used sleep on the street, shop verandas, road ditches and food selling
places, 15% of MVC used to sleep in mosques and churches, Ghetto and at home.
These findings suggest that lack of shelter is among the most pressing needs of MVC
which must be addressed by service providers.
4.3.11 Ability of MVC to cope with living conditions before they were identified
To establish whether MVC were able to cope with living conditions before they were
identified by service providers, the researcher analysed the feedback from respondents
on the matter and it was documented as shown in the table and figure below;;
Table 4.3.11: Ability of MVC to cope with living conditions
Yes No
No. of respondents 4 16
Percentage 20% 80%
16. Figure 4.3.11: Ability of MVC to cope with living conditions

YES
The results show that 80% of respondents said that MVC were not able to cope with
living conditions before they were identified, while 20% of respondents said that 20%
of respondents were not able to cope with living conditions. These findings show how
vulnerable MVC are and that they need help. Hence the need for service providers as
it is the objective of this study.
4.4 MVC PROGRAMMES IN THE STUDY AREA
This section focuses on the awareness of households about MVC programmes as well
as types of MVC programmes available in the study area. Results from the study
show that 75% the respondents involved in the study were aware about the
availability of MVC programmes. In view about types of MVC programme provider
mentioned, results show Local Government as the main programme provider.
The types of services provided by the Local Government incloude school expenses on
school uniforms, school fees, food and mosquito nets. Looking at individual wards,
Nambu ward mentioned EDUCAID and KIMWAM as additional programme
providers. As far as Tangazo ward is concerned, the ward mentioned TASAF and
AMREF as additional programmes providers.
17. The other two wards Mayanga and Nanguruwe mentioned FAWOPA and MSOAPO
respectively as additional programmes provider. The study went further to consider
elements of comprehensive care by MVC programmes. In considering individual
wards, results show that the ward received primary health care and HIV prevention,
care and treatment as well as educational and vocational training.
In view about health care, in Nambu ward, local government was the main
programme provider and the servive is provided to both children, caregiver and
perents. In the same ward, with regard to education, NGOs and local government are
the main programme providers and the children are beneficiaries of such services.
Both children, caregiver and parents are the beneficiaries of primary health care.
In education, the children become the beneficiaries of such service and local
government was mentioned to be the programme provider. In view about
Nanguruwe, only the children are beneficiaries of the primary health care and
education. While NGOs support primary health care, NGOs and local govenment
support education and vocational training.
4.5 EFFECTS OF PARTICIPATION IN PROVISION OF MVC SERVICES
This section deliberates on the effects of stakeholders participation in provision of
MVC services to the people in the study area. The enlights on stakeholder
participation in trained staff at all levels, effectively and efficiently functioning
committees which are responsible for MVC at all levels, effective and efficient care,
support and protection response system at all levels.
Availability of adequate resources for responding to needed care, support and
protection from MVC, building capacity of NGOs partners to improve and expand
high quality comprehensive care, using schools as platforms for intergrated service
provision, mobilizing communities to reach large population of number of children
and households in rural areas with comprehensive essential services and working with
depertments of social welfare and local MVC to develop care of desperately needed
skilled village based social workers. The results are shown in the table below;

The results shown in the table below show that the participation of stakeholders in
provision of services has resulted in improvements in provision of halth care services,
education services and shelter to MVC. However, the study also found that there
efforts are hindered by numerous factors such as; lack of awareness and cooperation
among community members, competence among service providers, lack of
avaliability of resources compared to the large number of MVC who need the services
and discouragement among community members onaccessing the services.
19. CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents he conclusion reached by the study and recommendations made
to improve the current situation;
5.1 CONCLUSION
From findings of the study, the researcher found that the provision of services to
MVC has helped to improve the welfare of MVC through provision of basic services
such as health care, education, food, clothing and shelter. The study found out that
children who were once living on the streets without food or health care can now get
those services.
Also, the study concludes that, despite of the benefits brought by the provision of
services to MVC, the efforts are hindered by various factors such as; lack of
awareness and cooperation among community members, competence among service
providers, lack of avaliability of resources compared to the large number of MVC
who need the services and discouragement among community members onaccessing
the services.
5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACTION
Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are suggested in
order to solve the factors hindering provision of services to MVC;
Public education through the media, such as radio and/or television, should be
intensified to change people’s attitudes toward participation in provision of
services to MVC. MVC should be perceived as equal members of the
community and efforts should be done to help them.
Where services for MVC are provided, they should be governed by the
principle of collective responsibility, which encourages close participation of
members of the community. Community members should be trained in order
to mitigate and offset the existing challenges.
20. The government, and the community at large need to recognize that children
and youth are full of imagination, desires, and hopes, and that they must be
involved in decisions that affect their lives. We must find out more about their
problems and prospects and how we can best help them.
