The number of orphans and vulnerable children in Uganda stretches into the millions. Many children become orphaned by HIV/AIDS, extreme poverty, or domestic violence. Without homes, access to basic needs, or human rights, their survival is a daily struggle. Violent gangs, drug dealers, and human traffickers are constant dangers. Some at-risk children are as young as 5 years old.
LAHU-USA believes that every child has the right to health, education and hope for a brighter future, securing this reality only through the support of donations and fundraisers like the Night on the Nile.
