    CHURCH’S RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGES FACED BY CHILDREN HAILING FROM BROKEN MARRIAGES IN VURRA ARCHDEACONARY, DIOCESE OF MADI WEST NILE: CASE STUDY OF FIVE CHURCHES
    (Uganda Christian University, 2025-08-29) MADIRA ERIC
    This study was conducted to examine churches response to challenges faced by children hailing in broken marriages. The objectives of the study were: to find out churches response to challenges faced by children hailing in broken marriages; to assess the initiatives and support structures of the Church aimed at assisting children from broken marriages in Vurra Archdeaconry, Diocese of Madi West Nile; and to establish strategies that Churches in Vurra Archdeaconry can implement to offer improved support for children from broken families in Diocese of Madi West Nile. The study used descriptive research survey design. Closed ended questionnaire and interviews were used for data collection. The study found that children hailing from broken marriages suffer emotional scars, which leads them to indulge in inappropriate behaviors such as substance abuse, sexual immorality, and difficulty in adapting to new family arrangements. It was further found that Churches offer counselling services and Sunday school teachings to children hailing in broken marriages. However, it was also found that churches do not offer donations to support the needy children. The study recommended that churches' response to challenges faced by children hailing from broken marriages needed to improve in terms of offering more counselling services, donations, and educational support programs.
