Skill development
Vulnerable groups pose special development concerns nationally and internationally because of their lack of basic pre-requisite resource endowment or ability that would enable them to ordinary participate in development effort. As a result they are in many cases marginalized or excluded from the benefits of the economic growth and national development . They are powerless, discrimited agnaist and often suffer abuse because of their inherent conditions. Vulnerable groups there fore need special protection and development enviroment that creates an inclusive society, with empowered vulnerable Men and Women,Youth and Children capable of demanding their rights and accessing their entitlements as human beings.
Why mostly girls and Women
Improving girls and women lives. As an educated Girl or mother, an active citizen and an ambitious entrepreneur, or prepared employee, they can break the cycle of poverty.
Despite their proven potential, in Uganda Today , many are uneducated, child bride, targeted as sex workers, raped and exposed to HIV/AIDS, girls and Women have turned to fetching water and wood rather than learning to read and write and many Girls bear children while they are still children themselves. The world has been missing out on a tremendous Economic opportunity for change.
