Since its inception the community-based organisation has carried out many welfares relief’s, development and issue-based programmes especially for the empowerment of rural lives, orphans, the needy, widows the weak and old. RATIONALE: There is a lot of scope that need to be addressed in Eastern Uganda and other surrounding areas as there were many poor and needy who haven’t been developed and the fruit of development is not reached them. All the benefits are been taken away by the higher classes of society like the rich which are influential in every field of this area. To escape from that situation the officials are doing justice to the lower class and neglecting the poor and needy. Though the rich are getting benefits from the Government they are not utilizing it according to the aims and objectives. Because of increased income inequality the marginalized majority of these societies are left without any help and hence problems associated with shortage in health care services, lack of clean safe water, increased number of street children on the streets. 8.
