the problem
Most non-government organizations (NGO) are concentrated in urban areas. There is a lack of education & training centres in rural Uganda due to a lack of necessary infrastructure such as water, electricity, and human resources.
As a result, many underprivileged people in rural areas don’t have an opportunity to receive education which could improve the standard of living for themselves and their community because they cannot afford the high cost of studying in schools located in urban centres.
Without an opportunity for advancement, people are stuck in a cycle of poverty which leads to a lack of purpose, depression, and high suicide rates. Those affected by poverty often develop destructive coping skills such as gambling, drug abuse and prostitution.
