Poverty has always been recognized as the major cause of disease, death, and disability. Now the World Health Organization (WHO) came out with the statement the Poverty is the ‘ruthless killer Large families in rural areas often face these problems and the earning members of the family unable to cope-up with the situations and survival becomes difficult. The relief often comes in the form of death leaving the children as orphans and destitute. These children starve without shelter, food and clothing and roam along the streets.
As we recognize that the children occupy a very unique and privileged position in the African society and that for the full harmonious development of their personality, the child should grow up in a family Environment and in an atmosphere of happiness, love, guidance and understanding! From a child’s physical and mental development, they require care in regard to physical, mental, moral and social development. Rural parts of Uganda have got large number of orphans than urban centers because people living in rural areas are not sensitized on prevention methods of HIV/AIDS. The age of orphans, however, is fairly consistent across parts of the country. Surveys suggest that about 15% of orphans are 0-18years old, 35% But despite of the efforts to improve the lives of the children, social indicators continue to show a decline in social and economic welfare of children. Also, low levels of education among the whole population of the community has also been attributed to the increasing number of Orphan children and other vulnerable people as a result of HIV and AIDS scourge, poverty and poor health conditions. Worst of all, the child-headed household trend in Uganda is such that rural areas have 79.9%, of which 49.6% are male-headed and 30.3% are female-headed. The trend in urban areas is that of the 20% child-headed households, 10.5% are male-headed whereas 9.6% are female-headed (Uganda Bureau of Statistics-UBOS, 2014).

The complexity of the problem of homeless and helpless child in Uganda is large and growing, and cannot be ignored when designing national development and poverty reduction strategies. Unfortunately, children especially orphans continue to be marginalized irrespective of interventions where by assumptions are made that interventions that address adult and household needs are also good for all children, including boys and girls of school-going and non-school-going ages. This partly explains why child poverty is underrepresented in most studies on poverty in Uganda (Save the Children UK, 2016)
