The social welfare department was officially started in 2010 to contribute to the increase of literacy levels in Singida under the supervision of a Social Welfare Officer at Faraja CBHC. Prior to this time, the program had existed as a part of the Home-Based care program. The major activity of this department is to assess, identify and interview the Most Vulnerable Children (MVCs) together with their families for school support. Students are identified through their parents after being tested and found that they are infected by HIV. Others are identified through social workers, the Home Based Care team and the Palliative Care team, from the community of Singida Municipality.

The program aims to provide support to students from primary schools, secondary schools and college through the provision of school needs and materials, food and nutrition, health insurance and coordination and supervision to all supported children. Faraja currently supports 116 MVCs from the 18 wards of Singida Municipality. The department works closely with the development sector in the municipality, the Singida Children and Community Centre Outreach Africa and the Compassion International by the Anglican Church
