Almost all the most uncomfortable issues affecting the ELDERLY in Uganda and Africa zero down to one thing, and that is POVERTY. We identified LAND GRABBING, LUCK OF FOOD, RAPE, BIG NUMBER OF DEPENDENTS and DISEASES as the most oppressing issues that the older persons face every day in Uganda. Some thing needs to be done and that is the reason for this project.
