The majority of children and youth mostly in rural Uganda have limited access to primary education and almost no opportunity for higher education. the problems faced by these children are related to social-economic and cultural constraints in the community. many households are poor and do not have sufficient income to send their children to school. this often results to high levels of school dropout, child labor, domestic violence, early/forced marriages, child mothers, drug abuse and risky behaviors among the children and youths in these communities. While the majority of people in the communities respond positively and sympathetically to the situations faced by the vulnerable children, households’ capacity to support and care for them is unstable due to the exitance of widespread poverty. Children who are born in a financially disadvantaged position, are unable to have the same chances to succeed in legitimate ways that middle- and upper-class people have. therefore, they turn to crime because they need, yet lack the basics of life.
