Current Problems in the country
It’s estimated that in Uganda they are over 2
million orphans due to HIV/AIDS, It is expected that over the next ten years it
is likely to double. Many orphans are children of primary school age;
these orphans have lost one or both of their parents. They usually live alone
or with one or with their extended family; this means that in every family
there is an orphan living with them.
Many children have been and continue to be
traumatized by the loss of their parents. In Uganda it’s the order of the day
to find grandparents surrounded by a fleet of grandchildren, families headed by
adolescents, dying adults being nursed by their children and children scattered
among relatives
As result, many people are considered to be living
in poverty and most of these people are below the age of eighteen .poverty has
a direct effect on peoples lives, as poor people have little access to health
services, education, clean water and many other very important things, and
these are the major obstacles to child survival, development, protection and
participation.
The UN convention on the right of children contains
rights relating to every aspect of children’s live s including the right to
survival, development, and protection and participation.
Orphans need care, including Feeding, Health and
sanitation, Vocational trainings and life skills, Emotional/psychosocial
support, counseling, Recreations, Religious support, Scholastic materials,
beddings, utensils, transport to health units, a roof over their head and
Education, they work as a safety net in the Childs life.
With out Supporting and empowering
orphans, in the 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 commitment to becoming our active
partner with Hope children charity in proving leadership, consultation and mobilizing
people and possible resources to this growing network.
