The Need
Over half of Uganda's population is under 18 years of age - the majority of whom have been orphaned by AIDS, civil conflict, and/or extreme poverty. Due to a lack of government-subsidized education, extended families and orphanages face an enormous financial barrier to educating Uganda's children. Moreover, 35% of the estimated 22 million Ugandans cannot read and write. However, with a little assistance, these children can grow into adults who can support themselves and their families and be the stimulus for recovery in their troubled homeland.
