The challenges

Its estimated that in Uganda they are over 2 million orphans due to HIV/Aids, its expected that over the next ten years its likely to double. Many orphans are children of primary school age; these orphans have lost one or both parents. They usually live alone, with one or their extended family. This means that in every family there is an orphan living with them. Many children have been and continued to be traumatized by the loss of their parents. In Uganda its order of the day to find grand parents surrounded by a fleet of  grandchildren, families headed by adolescents , dying adults being nursed by their children and children scattered among relatives.

As a result, many people are considered to be living in poverty and most of these people are below the age of 18. Poverty has adirect effect on people’s lives , as many poor people have little access to heath services, education, clean water and many other important things and these are the major obstacles to child survival, development, protection and participation.

The UN convention on the rights of children contains tights relating to every aspect of children’s lives including the right to survival, development, protection and participation. Orphans need care, including Feeding, Health and sanitation, Vocational training and life skills, Emotional/psychosocial support, counseling, Recreations, religious support, scholastic materials,, beddings, utensils, transport to health units, a roof over their heads and education, they work as a safety net in the child’s life.

Without support and empowering orphans, in future they will live as beggars on the streets. In anticipation of this need, I formally reach you and the entire world to respond with definite committed to becoming our active partner with HOPE CARE UGANDA in proving leadership, consultation and mobilizing people and possible resources to this growing net work.
