> Daycare for Children Concieved from Sexual Violence
|
This activity exists to care for the children of mothers having been raped. Some of these children were conceived due to sexual violence, and risk abandonment. The children are thus kept out of harms way in the daycare and the mothers are discouraged from abandoning them. In addition, many adolescent girls less than 15 years old have conceived and are thus forced to drop out of school. They are encouraged to continue their studies so that they may be better able to care for their children. Since 2003, 140 children conceived as a result of rape have been taken under our care. Among these, 16 are HIV positive and 14 were orphaned by their parents.
