• Lack of access to education: Many orphans in Uganda are unable to attend school due to lack of funds or lack of access to schools.
• Poor health care: Orphans often lack access to basic health care and medical attention.
• Poverty: Orphans in Uganda are often living in extreme poverty and are unable to access basic necessities like food and shelter.
• Lack of support: Orphans are often neglected by their families and communities and lack support.
• Orphaned and abandoned children are vulnerable to cases of child abuse like forced manual labour,sex molestation and drug abuse. 

These can have a serious impact on the lives of Uganda’s orphans. Without access to education and other basic necessities, these children are at risk of being exploited and falling into a cycle of poverty.
