Highly Vulnerable Children (HVC) are increasing at alarming rates worldwide and helping them at any level is challenging. In Africa, relief comes primarily from local, grassroots efforts with little outside financial support. One such effort, the Rose Ilogbo Orphanage, provides housing and care for more 22 HVC in Ughelli, Delta State Nigeria, West Africa.Due to urbanization, industrialization, and other 21st century challenges – and a consequent lack of viable parental oversight – HVC have very few options and end up living a derelict life on the street. They are HVC because either both parents have died from HIV/AIDS; their mothers were deserted, widowed, or divorced; or they came from an unwanted pregnancy. Consequently, they are left without love, care and support and must carve out a bleak existence on the street. They quickly become involved in anti-social and criminal activities in a cruel struggle to survive. To make matters worse, HVC are often subject to social ostracization and isolation due to deeply-held traditional beliefs. This creates a significant challenge for potential caregivers to rescue and care for them. Regardless, the Rose Ilogbo Orphanage – a strategically located Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) – is currently providing "Essential Services" to more than 22 HVC in the town of Ughelli, Delta State Nigeria, West Africa.MissionThe mission of the Rose Ilogbo Orphanage is to provide up to 40 HVC a safe and reasonably normal life through the provision of shelter, food, and education and to find them foster homes.
