This Christmas we want to be a blessing to Uthman, a 5yrs kid who can't walk but moves with the help of the fore head due to heavy head that his neck can't support.
He can't see, his father abandoned him and stays with a mother solely in a rented room around within Kawempe Division.
Much as she tries to work for survival, they lack nutritious foods, beddings, and things to use on a daily basis. Any well wisher with a wheel chair to enable him move, we shall be blessed and honoured!

CHILDREN’S PARLIAMENT ETHOS
If we were to conceptualise the Children’s Parliament as a space:
When children come into this space we want them to bring with them their knowledge of what it is like to be a child, their ideas and their opinions, and to be willing to voice and explore them.
When adults come into this space we want them to bring with them their facilitation skills, their commitment to listen to and welcome children’s opinions and a belief that children have a high degree of talent and ability. We also want adults to bring their memories of what it was like to be a child.
When children work together in this space they have the opportunity to take responsibility and work in self-directed groups. They also develop friendships and gain new insights into the diversity of children’s backgrounds, experiences, hopes and dreams.
When adults and children work together in this space they create something both rich and challenging. There is the opportunity to form relationships of mutual trust, respect and honesty, and there is huge potential for adults to learn and gain insights from children and vice versa.
Finally, in terms of describing our ethos and ways of working Children’s Parliament is not about advocating on children’s behalf, we believe children can advocate effectively for themselves if the right environment is created and support is in place. This is an initiative rich in learning for adults if they listen carefully. Our work is based on children having fun and engaging in projects and investigations in and across our themes which reflect the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Child marriage threatens to destroy the future of a generation of Ugandan children. Its revealed, one girl is at risk of child marriage every minute with nearly half of girls married before they turn 18yrs.
Child marriage is ranked the most critical issue facing girls in Uganda with 60%, followed by school dropout, unemployment, gender based violence and alcoholism.
Although the legal age for marriage in Uganda is 18, child marriage still persists on a massive scale, National statistics show at least one in 10 girls are married by the age of 15 & 40 percent by age 18. One in four teenage girls over 15 have already given birth or are pregnant.
The rates of child marriage in Uganda are the second worst in the East African Community, with only South Sudan doing worse. “Child marriage is a form of child abuse. It forces children out of education, traps them in a cycle of poverty, and endangers the lives of young mothers and their babies.
“There are laws in place to prevent this, but they need to be enforced and better disseminated in rural communities. We are calling on the government of Uganda to step up efforts to implement action plans that include full access to health, community attitudes. Parents must also play their part and keep their children safe from child marriage,”.

Mothers.... We condemn this to the innocent children. They need your help, support and proper upbringing. They also have Rights which we must all observe and protect!
Main problems faced by children in Uganda:
1. Child Poverty. In Uganda, more than a third of all inhabitants live below the poverty line and we find that in many cases children are the heads of the families.
2. Right to food. Many Ugandan children suffer from malnutrition and thus their chance to grow healthy and compete with the world is affected.
3.Right to Education. Nearly one out of every five children in Uganda is uneducated. ...
4. Street Children are becoming a big threat that children have to do street baging to survive because they cant afford a meal and many sleep on empty stomachs.
5. Child Labour.

Our Story
Children’s Parliament gives children the opportunity to voice their ideas,experiences, thoughts and feelings so that their concerns and opinions can be listened to and included in our social, economic and political landscape. Children’s Parliament gives children's ideas a voice.
Background
Uganda is a signatory to various international instruments of human rights. This status creates a positive environment and framework within which the national child rights agenda can be promoted. The past two decades have seen marked progress in the child rights sector most especially in the establishment of policy, legislative and institutional framework for the realization of child rights. In addition, there have been considerable efforts by the government of Uganda in realizing its obligation to the children by implementing national level programs both at ministerial level and in collaboration with development partners. The national level programs have also been complemented by child rights awareness programs among the public and key stakeholders, particularly the children. These gains have been a result of complimentary interventions by multiple stakeholders like Faith Based Organizations, Civil Society Organizations and the Uganda government itself.
