The inception of the project was conceived by seven persons all working with orphans and other vulnerable children and adolescents in the 12 villages saw the need for an organization and established CFOU. This was due to the traditions which are built on Bantu traditions where children´s welfare is a conc
ern of the family and community. Traditionally great value was attached families taking care of old people, orphans and children whose parents had fallen sick. The AIDS epidemic has changed it completely by death of parents. Grandparents are left behind to take care of orphans and often you see orphans taking care of their grandparents. Many orphans are placed in near family and this burden often results in the orphan being treated differently as regard of clothing, food, love and care, workload. Some children have not only become orphans but some also been infected by HIV and thereby an extra burden for the family.
