The Community Care Coalition (CCC) project model is the foundational community structure for supporting various possible types of programming to ensure sustained child well-being for the most vulnerable boys and girls at the local level.

The CCC project model, originally part of World Vision’s Hope initiative, seeks to strengthen community-led care and support for orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs). CCCs are formed by joining key community stakeholders into a coalition to identify OVC-related issues within the community and to develop and prioritise action plans for responding to these issues.
