KASSANDA CHILDREN’S AID (KCA) was formed in 2012 to help orphans and their families with an aim of providing care & support to Vulnerable Children, and their caregivers/Women and youth in Kassanda Districts. There are many toddlers who are hard-up, going without basic needs of life and suffering from difficult ailments such as hydrocephalus, epilepsy, HIV/AIDS and sickle cells. Some of these children come from poor families which cannot ably acquire the least basic necessities of life. This is a pathetic situation that requires an agent intervention.
Low Response to Vulnerable Children: At present Kassanda District Local Government and Civil Society organizations operating in the District do not have any appropriate action taken to address Children’s needs. As a result, they grow up despairing without hope for a better future. Hence, to save the plight of the vulnerable children, Kassanda Children’s Aid (KCA) was started as a more accommodative program for all types of children.
