Mothers at Risk and Vulnerable Children Foundation
In Uganda, a devastating reality faces countless children. Due to unrelenting poverty and financial hardship, many parents and guardians are forced to abandon their children, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
The statistics are alarming:
- According to UNICEF, over 2 million children in Uganda live in extreme poverty, struggling to access basic necessities like food, water, and shelter.
- The same report reveals that nearly 1 in 5 children in Uganda do not reach their fifth birthday, with malnutrition, malaria, and other preventable diseases being leading causes of death.
- Furthermore, thousands of children are forced onto the streets, where they are exposed to physical and emotional abuse, trafficking, and other forms of exploitation.
Poverty is a pervasive issue in Uganda, with:
- Over 21% of the population living below the poverty line (World Bank, 2020)
- 43% of children under the age of 5 suffering from stunting due to malnutrition (WHO, 2020)
- Limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities perpetuating the cycle of poverty
Mothers at Risk and Vulnerable Children Foundation is committed to addressing this crisis by providing support to vulnerable children and families in Uganda. Through their initiatives, they aim to:
- Provide access to education, healthcare, and nutrition
- Empower families with economic opportunities and resources
- Advocate for policy changes to protect the rights and well-being of children
