Orphans and Vulnerable Children Wellbeing Tool
A goal of orphan and vulnerable children (OVC) programs is to improve wellbeing. Yet measuring wellbeing has proven to be an elusive concept for many engaged in OVC programming. The OVC Wellbeing Tool was developed to serve as a fast, easy method of securing data about the overall wellbeing of children aged 13-18. Presently, the tool is 36 questions long and takes approximately 20 minutes to administer. Scoring can be done immediately or via a computer program. Results are used to monitor OVC programs over time.
