Experiences of Community Participation on Social Inclusion of Elderly Individuals Living With Disabilities in Atutur Village, Kumi District
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-03-12) Rita Anyait
Elderly individuals living with disabilities face significant barriers to active participation and inclusion within their communities (Bigby et al.., 2019; Simplican et al., 2020). In the context of Atutur Village, Kumi District, there is limited understanding of the experiences and challenges faced by this vulnerable population when it comes to meaningful community engagement. Previous research has highlighted the importance of community participation in enhancing the social, emotional, and functional well-being of elderly individuals with disabilities (Levasseur et al., 2019; Portegijs et al., 2020), but little is known about the specific attitudes, perceptions, and lived experiences of this group within the Atutur Village setting. The exclusion of this population from community life can lead to feelings of isolation, loneliness, and marginalization (Nicholson, 2012; Santini et al., 2020), understanding the need to identify the key hindrances to their participation and develop targeted interventions to foster greater social inclusion. This study aims to address this critical knowledge gap by exploring the perspectives of elderly individuals living with disabilities in Atutur Village, with the goal of informing community-based approaches that empower this vulnerable group to actively engage with and benefit from the resources available within their local context .

Influence of Parents’ Care on Teenage Pregnancy in Imvepi Refugee Settlement, Terego District
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-03-05) Bangutu Emmanuel
This study examines the influence of parents’ support on teenage pregnancies in Imvepi Refugee Settlement, Terego District, Uganda. Additionally, the prevalence of teenage pregnancy remains among the major challenges faced by refugee settlements that have socially and economically vulnerable refugees. This paper discusses the contribution of parental care to the prevalence of teenage pregnancy among adolescents. The design of the qualitative research in this study involved semi-structured interviews carried out with the teenage respondents in the settlement. In this respect, such interviewees were asked to react to three stated objectives: how parental emotional care, financial care, and social care related to pregnancy status. Constrained financial situations and parents' inability to fulfill basic needs led teenagers into transactional relationships, hence making them have a higher risk of pregnancy. Inadequate parental social care, guidance, and supervision left a gap in supporting the adolescents in deciding and thus increased vulnerability. The study thus concludes that in refugee situations, parental involvement helps reduce teen pregnancy. It calls for reinforcement in the family support systems through community-based parenting programs, integrating the parental care intervention into current sexual and reproductive health education initiatives in refugee settlements. These could increase protective factors and reduce rates of teenage pregnancy in similar settings.
