Orphanage Uganda

PROBLEM STATEMENT

• For the period we have lived in this area for 25 years now. So far we have observed and got to know situations where children enjoying their human rights got denied, also cases of child abuse have been reported to local authorities, probation offices and police.
• Due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic many children have been left as orphans after one parent or both died from this epidemic.
• So many of the orphans and needy children have been left without care and got defiled in families, schools and in the community.
• The girls have been forced to get married at an early age and this results into abortion, death during child birth and frustrations due to unplanned marriage.
• These orphans and poor children have been denied access to education and basic needs and consequently result to street life, prostitution, robbery, drug abuse and more.  This has produced notorious, immoral citizens and unfulfilled Christian morals in our community.
• Almost all of these orphans and needy children are subject to these dilemmas and the destitute are unable to support and defend themselves, where no one takes care and makes the children prey to every circumstance in life.
• The cultural factor where by polygamy is common in most families in this area has led to production of excess unplanned children that cannot be satisfied and sustained by the family economic status. So we feel a passion not to maintain the status quo but to be involved in the struggle to rescue the disadvantaged orphans and needy children not in isolation but in partnership with other organizations, donors and churches.
