Welcome
Empowering & rehabilitating disabled children, young HIV/AIDS mothers, fistula-challenged women, military wives, widows and orphans in Uganda.
Donate nowSea Foundation Uganda was founded in 2017. Our core activity is empowering and rehabilitating disabled children, youth with HIV/AIDS, fistula-challenged mothers, military wives, widows and orphans. We were established with our main focus on empowering and rehabilitating disadvantaged pregnant women, supporting HIV patients, caring for elderly and underprivileged families' children, supporting people with disabilities, and orphans and widows of both service and ex-service men.
Currently we are working with physically challenged children, abandoned children, young HIV/AIDS mothers, underprivileged elderly, and a number of military widows and orphans.
The need
In Uganda, the current population of older persons is estimated at 1.6 million (5% of the population), and it is expected to increase to 5.5 million by 2050 (UBOS and ICF International, 2012). Living arrangements remain a critical issue in the discourse on population ageing.
According to the Uganda Population-based HIV Impact Assessment for 2016–2017, the prevalence of HIV among adults aged 15 to 64 in Uganda is 6.2% — 7.6% among females and 4.7% among males. This corresponds to approximately 1.2 million people aged 15 to 64 living with HIV in Uganda. HIV prevalence is higher among women living in urban areas (9.8%) than those in rural areas (6.7%).
According to the crisis center for abandoned and orphaned babies, Uganda has more than two million orphaned and homeless children. There are many reasons a child is orphaned or abandoned, and each child and every parent has their own unique story. Babies on the streets are at risk of illness, disease, malnutrition and human trafficking.
Worldwide, fifteen percent of the world's population — around one billion people — live with some form of disability. In Uganda, 12.4% of the population lives with some form of disability, and Kawempe division accounts for 22.6% of all persons with disabilities living in Kampala.
