stressed families in their home environment with a range of services, including life skills support, nutrition assistance, basic health services, school funding, addressing sexual violence, training couples in negotiation and conflict resolution, and more. • Income generation: These activities aim to increase women’s access to income and productive resources. Women’s and girls’ groups receive training and materials for activities including knitting (18 groups), making local crafts, rearing livestock, and market gardening. • Property inheritance protection: BKB staff identify and work with community leaders to protect the property of widows and children orphaned by AIDS to help women and children hold on to their homes, retain family assets, and maintain a sense of family identity. • Water access activities: Program staff build water sources (protected springs, bore holes, and water tanks) to provide families and communities with a clean water source and protect girls from having to travel long distances for water, which leaves them vulnerable to sexual assault and rape. • Education: The program provides scholarships for girls to attend primary, secondary, and vocational schools. FCS also equips and improves early childhood education facilities owned by women. FCS addresses gender-based violence in multiple program activities. The mobile clinic workers address violence in workshops during community visits, and also provide health services to women in the aftermath of rape or assault. Home health visitors address violence (physical and sexual) directly with families. Program staff provide couples with negotiation and conflict resolution training, and home visit staff address alcohol and substance abuse as a main source of gender-based violence. Coaching also empowers women to negotiate with partners regarding family income and intimacy rights and responsibilities, and individual counseling for women and men is available at the clinic and during home visits. The program also addresses male norms and behaviors that increase health risks. The mobile clinic has increased men’s participation in community workshops to influence male knowledge and behavior around reproductive health, gender-based violence, HIV and AIDS, and other health issues. The income-generation project also works to change male norms and attitudes around women generating income. With growing numbers of male participants, FCS plans to begin men-only seminars to explore harmful male norms affecting family health and welfare. FCS aims to increase women’s and children’s legal protection by working with community leaders to help widows and children orphaned by AIDS keep their land and homes. Property protects children from becoming second-class citizens in someone else’s home or being out on the street, both circumstances in which girls are particularly vulnerable to sexual exploitation. The program also helps girls and women affected by HIV and AIDS increase their access to income and productive resources. FCS incomegeneration projects provide basic business management training, skills training, and starter capital plus ongoing business support as needed, allowing girls and women to generate income. Activities include market gardening, livestock rearing, knitting, crafts, and nursery schools. 164

Once a community was identified, a needs assessment was conducted to determine what services are needed and by whom. Program staff then put together packages of services, some targeting the entire community (e.g., mobile health clinic) and others targeting individuals or individual families (e.g., income- 165
