Education

UNIVOC is supporting 60 orphans and vulnerable children by provision of scholastic materials, school fees and basic materials. We are getting a very big challenge in terms of funding considering the level of poverty resulting from an overwhelming number of clients who seek for support. There are many OVCs that need support but the financial capacity of UNIVOC cannot support beyond the 60 beneficiaries.
