THE ELDERLY

Busoga Kingdom, as its cultures values and respects the role of elders in the community. Elders are regarded as a source of knowledge hence wealth and as a result it has put in place a program to enable them perform their roles from a more informed point of view verses the changing world.

One of the programs that kingdom has introduced includes reviving community parenting. This includes promoting education for the less advantaged children. The pilot (One year) targets orphans, illiterate adults and the population with disabilities such as the blind, slow learners and those with physical disabilities.

The purpose of this project is to create n enabling environment for sustainable implementation of development in Busoga including Universal Primary Education. The project considered the notion that illiteracy among adults tends to fail them to appreciate value of education because they themselves are illiterates. The project realised that children of educated parents tend to get education than their counterpart. So this project seeks to enforce advocacy and interventions between central government and community.
