Case For Support
In Uganda, the current population of older persons is estimated at 1.6 million (5% of the population) and it is expected to increase to 5.5 million in 2050 (UBOS and ICF International 2012). Living arrangements is a critical issue in the discourse on population aging.

According to the Uganda population based HIV impact assessment records for 2016 – 2017, the prevalence of HIV among adults aged 15 to 64 in Uganda is 6.2%: 7.6% among females and 4.7% among males. This corresponds to approximately 1.2 million people aged 15 to 64 living with HIV in Uganda. HIV prevalence is higher among women living in urban areas (9.8%) than those in rural areas (6.7%).
According to the crisis center for abandoned/orphaned babies, Uganda has more than two million orphaned and homeless children. There are many reasons why a child is orphaned or abandoned. Each child and every parent has his or her own unique story. The babies on the streets are in danger of illness, disease, malnutrition and human trafficking.
Worldwide, fifteen percent (15%) of the world’s population or one (1) billion people live with some form of disability. In Uganda, 12.4% of the Uganda’s population lives with some form of disability and Kawempe division accounts for (22.6%) of all persons with disabilities living in Kampala.
