Uganda is estimated to have 2.46 million persons with disability and the Elderly constite 6% of the total population of Uganda. They are one of the most marginarised socio-economic groups, with no specific provosion for their concerns .All there is, are promoses to study the needs of the group yet it is well known that the Elderly are worn out, have little strength to engage in productive activities and compete for services. In many cases the elderly have lost respect of the community due to the diminished roles to influence political process and have little social support and feeel hopeless.SOT-UGANDA INTERNATIONAL, Has put in place an explicit programe / intervation to aid this gradually growing group.

we do need monthly support to do
all this a donation of $20 can help to support one home visit to bless
