This case study offers an in-depth study of the Tumaini Home-Based Care Program model and identifies lessons learned that could be applied to other initiatives. While the Tumaini program addresses the needs of both people living with HIV as well as OVC, the case study is focused on specific services for highly vulnerable children, and their effects.  The Tumaini model draws upon the potential of civil service organizations to respond to the needs of children, youth and families.

This case study describes the Salvation Army’s (TSA) Mama Mkubwa Psychosocial Support Program model, including challenges, successes, lessons learned and the way forward. The case study and report are focused on the program components that aim to strengthen community responses to the needs of vulnerable children and their families and provide psychosocial support for OVC.
