In 2002, the Human Science Research Concil was commisioned by the WK Kellog Foundation to develop and implement a five-year intervention project focusing on orphans and vulnerable chidren (OVC) in southern Africa. In collaboration with several partner organisations, the project currently focuses on how children, families in Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe are coping with the impact of HIV/AIDS. The aim of the project is to develop models of best practise so as to enhance and improve support structures for OVC in the southern African region as a whole
