Issues Uganda's Children Face
Uganda struggles with numerous obstacles to its development: civil war, lack of infrastructure, poverty, and the high cost of education. Uganda has millions of AIDS orphans and children living in refugee camps.

62% of Uganda's high school students drop out of school.

Most leave school because they can not pay their school fees.
(According to an article in New Vison, a Uganda newspaper.)

Concern for the Future: Needed by Uganda's children
Half of our high school students attend the top eleven high schools in Uganda.

Of these 22 high school students, 11 are 1st or 2nd in their class.

• 46% of our primary kids attend Budo Jr., the #1 primary school.

Concern for the Future, an indigenous NGO offers an innovative policy solution to the issue of child soldiers / abducted children and to the HIV / AIDS crisis.  

Educating future leaders and promoting creativity in children is vital if Uganda is ever going to tackle its myriad problems. Locating and cultivating innovators is a crucial component of Africa’s effort to reduce dependence on the west; develop economically, and heal; but sending brilliant, enterprising students to university is not "in the mix" currently because we primarily fund damage control.  This is short sighted.  If we do not build a better future, our relief efforts will come to naught.

Concern for the Future Helps Children Succeed.
