Children's Homes struggle to mobilize resources on a month-to-month basis. This leads to a poor quality of care that has a long lasting impact on a child's outcomes like education, health etc. This program provides funding to cover the operational expenses incurred by children's homes including funds for groceries, rent, utilities, repairs etc.; this ensuring that the homes continue to provide effective care.
