Happy Hours Ministry Uganda was founded in 2019 as non-profit community-based organization in the eastern region of Uganda. It was started by a team of dedicated persons with the aim of helping the children affected and infected with HIV/AIDS and we later incorporated sustainability programs and livelihood as a model to better combat the covid-19 pandemic. We run the center in wanyange in the eastern Region of Uganda. Happy Hours Ministry Uganda is able to provide a small orphanage project that will provide children with a safe and stable home, education and support throughout their childhood. This will be a solution of solving the problems hidden by the fact that orphans and vulnerable children are invisible; yet by the very nature of their situation, they are included among those that are classified as disadvantaged and poor in Uganda. In jinja district like any other areas of the World, there is growing number of Orphaned and homeless children caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and other illnesses. Findings still shows that children in abject problems are recognized by rather elementary (as opposed to sophisticated) criteria. Top on the list is absence of basic necessities such as shelter, food, clothing and water. Equally important is the ‘human condition’ in terms of physical health and parental care and protection. While there seems to be national consensus among donors, the public sector and civil society that the government has made commendable progress in implementing PEAP (Poverty Eradication Action Plan) as flexibly as possible, it’s evolving nature, due to the participatory and consultative reviews it undergoes regularly, does not address many of the development challenges disadvantaged children face today. It would take lobbying and advocacy interventions to ensure that the needs and demands of children in abject poverty are met. According to UNESCO 2003 study on Children in Abject Poverty in Uganda indicates that: Ill health and inadequate health services remain critical challenges for children in abject poverty. This is aggravated by the living conditions of children in almost all the districts of Uganda where the pilot study was carried out.
