• Stewardship and Talent Management

Objectives for Workshop

• Locate the 4/14 and HCD movement within an HIV and AIDS context

• Focus on orphans and children made vulnerable as a result of HIV and AIDS

• Introduce an innovative funding model for HCD

Why focus on children at risk (CAR) within an HIV and AIDS

pandemic• 5,7 million South Africa’s living with HIV • Levels of new infections – behaviour

change critical• 4 % of children are maternal orphans• Conservatively estimated to be 1 million• Children orphaned as a result of HIV and

AIDS 25% more likely abused• Reality of Child Headed Households

Exercise: Who is Responsible?

• The Lord • Children• Adults in the Home• Local Community• Church• State• Business • Civil Society

A Biblical Response

J A M E S 1 V E R S E 2 7

Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles, and refuse to let the world

corrupt us.

THE CHURCHCIVIL SOCIETY

Funding through Partnership with Government

• Children’s Act – (support processes)• Support access and administration of Social

Security• Child Support Grants (9,5 million)• Foster Care Grants (Children’s Act Process)• Adoption• Early Child Development Centres• After School Drop in Centres• VCT Support• Home-based and child care workers

Funding through Partnership with Business

• Creation of Social Value – new intent to CSI• Section 18 (A) Tax Benefit• Social and Ethics Report Companies Act• Consumer Protection Act• Brand Association• Transfer of Technology• Social Capital (employee involvement)• Internships• Mentoring and Coaching

Funding through Partnership with Civil Society

• Movement away from philanthropy to social entrepreneurship

• Advocacy• Creation of Social Enterprises• Business Principles within Social Justice• Networks • Social Capital (friends, family, ..)• Competitive Advantage?• Social Value

Markers in development of the Trust as a care-based

organisation• Advocacy – defending the cause• Innovation – scaling / new ideas / technology• Social Entrepreneurship – business model,

product & service, competitive advantage, go to market

• Social Enterprise, social organisation within a business structure: (finance, HR etc)

• Leadership, strategy, governance, diplomacy

Innovation

• Social Innovation – Virtual Adoption

(Supplementary support by an ‘extended family’ that is located virtually)

• Technology Transfer – business management systems to civil society

(Management System for Orphans and Vulnerable Children, MSOVC)

Some Keys

• In the Global Village – sufficient resources• Need to create people to people contact -

emotional link makes for sustainability• Put a face and identity to poverty and suffering

(statistics paralysing)• Menu driven – choice• Matched – individuals, households, cluster,

village• Secure• Reporting - Narrative emotional basis for long

term support

….Social Capital Mobilisation

•

Social Capital

• Social Network Theory – 1960s• Norms and Values (including regulations) • Sanctions• Each person has a social network • National Mobalization and International

Solidarity• African Diaspora• Example Anti-Apartheid Movement (Role of

Church)

CHILD STATUS INDEX

The CSI was developed in response to the request by PEPFAR, OGAC and OHA to assess vulnerabilities, needs and desired outcomes for OVCs.

It is used in Ethiopia, Rwanda, India, Cambodia and Swaziland.

It measures and produces in a simple way, based on a standardized evaluation form, a status index which is expressed as:

1 = Very Bad 2 = Bad 3 = Fair 4= Good

For the following Domains:

need– Matching of resources to the

need– Creating a budget to meet the

What is the JRT?

SBO

WC

JRT Functionality

What This Means

• It is technically possible by relying on virtual support clusters to mobilize resources to fund care cycles and development plans at individual, household, cluster and village level.

• The use of business information management systems and business intelligence tools to manage the whole system and process

• An automated administration system can be used to ensure security and efficiency and to cope with complexity

• We therefore scale care-based organisations from 15% to 60%

Opportunity

• Promote good practice• Child Rights Framework• Family Based Care (family care units) UNHRC• Integrated community development• Employment creation• Poverty alleviation• Weave together holistic development • Real opportunity for the Church (Mat 25)

MillenniumDevelopmentGoals (MDG’s)

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

2. Achieve universal primary education

3. Promote gender equality and empower women

4) Reduce child mortality

5) Improve maternal health

6) Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases

7) Ensure environmental sustainability

8) Develop a global partnership for development

Challenges?

• Selection of children• Support without increasing risks • Conflicting Rights, Sponsors,

Caregivers, Children, NGO • Direct contact with Children?• Risks of dependency

Some Risks

• Building a Rolls Royce engine with 4 wheel drive capability!

• Technical sustainability• Funding• Manage expectations

Concluding Thoughts

• HCD Nation Building• Identifying Next Generation of

Leaders• Kingdom Expansion• Protocol of Heaven• Partnership with the Holy Spirit

“…Adoption” Worshippers

It is morally indefensible that we choose to live with problems

that can be solved
