Uganda orphans:

Africa is home to many orphans and Uganda is no saint. This can be described almost as a disease that engulfs the region. The United nations estimates that the total number of orphans to be 140 million worldwide with Uganda accommodating about 3 million. Various efforts are being undertake by stakeholders to combat this and Love Uganda Foundation is one of them at the front line.

Many of the children in Uganda are orphaned as a result of HIV/AIDS that was first recorded in the early 1980’s. The HIV infection has claimed many in Uganda at the time where little was known about it and the medication quite costly for the average Ugandan. Civil conflicts is the other factor that has left many children orphans. The Lord’s Resistance Army war in northern Uganda and other rebels like the Allied Democratic Forces that resulted into death of many people are at the forefront.

Orphans in Uganda face many plights, some still have the memory of their parents being killed and tortured as they were infants and their homes burnt to ashes. This breeds a psychological effect on them that if not corrected hinders them from reaching their full potential. Education is one of the number one challenges of the orphans in Uganda. Education is an enlightening experience that gifts one with adequate skills and knowledge. It goes beyond the classroom and is the best known remedy to break the poverty circle.
