initiative for vulnerable households sustainability. These households are supported and equipped with knowledge and skills to equip them in developing sustainable income generating projects in a saving environment. Families are engaged in Internal Savings and Lending (ISALs) and Income Generating Projects to enable them to meet their basic household needs, finance their projects and eventually accumulate profitable assets. The program targets caregivers from various thematic areas including PMTCT mothers, ECD caregivers, Primary school caregivers, Child Care Workers (CCWs) IMPACT and adolescent Girls Empowerment Program (AGEP) beneficiaries.
The vulnerable households are identified from the communities, schools, clinics and primary schools where we are supporting the OVC with direct school fees payment.

ISAL Training as an economic strengthening strategy is for caregivers who have:
• Problems accessing capital.
• Have interest in using their initiatives and resources
• Have interest in joining groups in order to build their own capital.
The caregivers go through a three day training which covers five modules, that is, member self-selection, Groups and Leadership, Constitution, Group Fund Development and Record keeping.
