I am the  program Director for Centre for Child Advocacy and Life Planning ( CCALP)Uganda in Nansana Villages for the past 7 years I have had a strong concern for orphans and vulnerable children in my community. This is the area in which I was born and raised. Through my work as a social volunteer with Mentor Volunteers Uganda and Red cross. I have come to learn that it is possible to alleviate the problems of Orphans and Vulnerable Children through well designed and meaningfully focused children programs. 

 Many children in Uganda have been orphaned as a result of the country’s HIV/AIDS epidemic and war and now as a result many orphans are  living alone or with one of their extended family; this means that in every family there is an orphan living with them.  Some of these children are living on the streets of Kampala and other towns with no access to education, health care, shelter and feeding. As a result, many find their way into crime.
