Orphans And Vulnerable Children (OVC) Projects.

Launched on April 18, 2009, this project was designed to address the holistic welfare of orphans. The program began with a recreational outing to Millennium Park, Abuja, involving 20 orphans and members of the NGO.

Beyond social interaction, the foundation provided critical infrastructure support by assisting the City of Refuge orphanage in Durumi to reconnect their water meter and providing raincoats for the children.

The initiative also focused on education, successfully sponsoring the school fees for two orphans, Daniel and Susana Bojireh, to ensure their academic journey continued without interruption.

The 2010 edition saw a significant expansion in reach. AHF coordinated the transportation of orphans and their guardians from Akwa Ibom, Edo, and Ekiti States to the Federal Capital Territory.

This inter-state collaboration brought together children from diverse backgrounds, including residents of the Abuja Children’s Home, for a unified program of support and empowerment.

By facilitating this logistics-heavy operation, the foundation strengthened its network across Nigeria, ensuring that distance was not a barrier to providing care for vulnerable children.

Held in Effurun, Delta State, the 2011 program tagged 'Roll Back Malaria' focused on the health and preventative care of orphans in the region.

Comprehensive malaria testing and treatments were administered to the children. To ensure long-term prevention, treated mosquito nets were distributed alongside essential supplies like clothes, shoes, and writing materials.

The program benefited children from the Heart of Delta and Saint Anne’s orphanages, blending medical intervention with the provision of basic life necessities.

In collaboration with Hellyncom Eye Clinic, AHF hosted the first 'Free Eye Test and Treatment' event at PICO Hall, PTI, in Effurun.

The initiative focused on early detection of visual impairments, providing professional screenings and immediate medical treatments for the orphans in attendance.

The day concluded with the distribution of gift items, ensuring that the children’s medical needs were met in a celebratory and supportive atmosphere.

The 2013 program served as a critical follow-up to the previous year’s vision initiative. Held at Hellyncom Eye Clinic in Warri, the foundation conducted reassessments for children previously diagnosed with visual defects.

A total of 13 orphans from Heart of Delta, Eagle Height, and Kings Kid Orphanage benefited from these specialized treatments and corrective care.

This phase emphasized the foundation's commitment to sustainable health outcomes, ensuring that initial treatments led to long-term recovery for the children.

Continuing the partnership with Hellyncom Eye Clinic, the 2014 edition was hosted at the First Baptist Church in Effurun, Delta State.

The clinic provided free eye examinations and specialized treatments for orphans identified with various visual defects, prioritizing those who had no prior access to ophthalmic care.

The outreach successfully gathered children from multiple homes, further solidifying the foundation's reputation as a key provider of pediatric eye care in the region.

The 2015 initiative focused on the continued reassessment and treatment of children with visual challenges at the Enerhen-based Hellyncom Eye Clinic.

By maintaining a consistent schedule of yearly check-ups, AHF ensured that the visual health of the orphans did not deteriorate, providing new prescriptions and treatments where necessary.

This ongoing medical partnership highlights the importance of consistency in charitable healthcare interventions.

The 2017 outreach saw 33 children and their caregivers from Little Saint, Heart of Delta, and Eagles Hand Orphanages receive professional eye care in Enerher, Delta State.

Beyond medical screenings, the event was designed to be a festive experience, featuring fun activities and gift presentations to uplift the children's spirits during the holiday season.

Every child in attendance was tested and treated accordingly, ensuring that their vision was protected as they prepared for the upcoming school year.

The 2018 program expanded to Benin City, held at the AHF branch office in the EDPA Shopping Complex, Ugbowo. Partnering with Success Onose Eye Clinic, we served 45 children from four different homes.

Beneficiaries included Cornerstone, Edo, Manasseh Ministry, and Our Mummy Orphanage homes. While all children received testing, critical cases were flagged for dedicated long-term follow-up care.

The day was filled with gift presentations and activities, reinforcing the foundation's mission to provide both professional medical support and emotional encouragement to orphans.
