🏢 About the local organisation
Credo Children Center is a community base organization that was established as a rescue centre and place of safety for OVC's from the local community. The influx is largely attributed to the breakdown of social norms, high poverty rate and HIV/ AIDS scourge that has affected the family structures in most communities not only in this area but also across the country. The Institution has the sole responsibility of taking care of children in need of care and protection in their formative age.
Credo Children Center aims at creating a society where children become responsible citizens through fulfillment of their prescribed rights and welfare. Hence it safeguards the rights and welfare of all children in the local community through implementation of relevant policies, coordination, supervision and delivery of services.
