Problem statement

In our region, the number of orphans and Homeless Children increases every day and the situation is becoming acute. This situation is due to death of parents affected by HIV and AIDS, re-marriage of deserted women, widowed women, wars, divorce, disputes in families and many others. These young people are just left without any care and support.

These adolescents survive by picking and selling rags, pick pocketing, participating in criminal and anti-social activities and resorting to live on streets.Currently, the community income base does not favor many of their caretakers and families to buy a kilogram of any type of meat compared to the population. Increasingly somecommunity members in Kasese district have resorted to eat animal intestines and other unhealthy meat commonly known as “NSANGA” from different parts of the country.Lack of family, lack of social care and lack of access to basic needs contributes to poverty an environment that damages child mental, physical, emotional and spiritual development.
