Orphans Education Support Project. All though the universal primary education (UPE) and the universal secondary education (USE) has made it much easier for Ugandan children to go to school and get education, there are still many problems related to poverty which are making it difficult for the orphans and other vulnerable children to complete the full course of both primary and secondary education.

Nutritional Care and Support Project. Although there has been a decline in HIV/AIDS, the trends in malnutrition have not changed. For optimum nutrition, one needs adequate food security. However, in Uganda, food insecurity results from poverty, intra-regional differences, internal displacement, gender imbalances in food allocation and intra-household food distribution, and lack of knowledge. During the harvest period most households in Uganda has a variety of food items in adequate quantities, and on average consume three meals per day. However, as the dry season progresses, the meals consumed become less varied and families eat two meals or even one meal a day at the onset of the planting seasonMost of the vulnerable children and households are commonly facing a number of problems with Socioeconomic Security. |

Prevention of Mother-to-child HIV Transmission Project. Mother to child transmission is the second most common mode of HIV transmission In Uganda. The average HIV prevalence rate amongst women attending ANC in the year 2001 was 8.8% for urban sites and 4.2% in the rural areas while the national average was reported at 6.5%. The majority of HIV infection in Uganda is concentrated in the age group 15 – 45% years, those of reproductive age. Women constitute a significant proportion of this group and this has clear implications for MTCT. The National Housing and population census of 2002 gives a population of about 24 million people and 1,248,000 expected pregnancies per yearAll though there are many programs for orphans and other vulnerable children that focus on material support and meeting children’s physical needs, relatively few consider the psychosocial effects on children of having HIV, caring for a sick parent, living in a household affected by HIV/AIDS or losing one or both parents. |

Widows and Orphans legal aid Project. There is growing concern that most often when death occurs, those who are supposed to benefit from the estate of the deceased person do not benefit. This is particularly true with regard to children and women on the death of their fathers and husbands respectively. Some of these beneficiaries end up without any recourse and they become destitute.
