Hope for Victoria Children (HOVIC) was set up as Community based organisation (CBO) in 2003 and registered as an Non Governmental Organisation in 2008 to support and empower vulnerable community members especially Orphans and other Vulnerable Children (OVC) and youth self-help groups in identification and utilisation of resources geared towards alleviating poverty and protecting their rights and environment in which they live.
At its inception, the focus was on addressing the urgent need, namely to provide relief and welfare services to Street Children of all ages in Kisumu City of Kenya. This was quickly achieved and the programme stepped up to delivering a coordinated targeted intervention to mitigate the impact of poverty on very vulnerable street children.
