(Uganda Christian University, 2023-09-28) Elvis Nsamba
Child sponsorship programs are initiatives run by various non-profit organizations and charities to support and improve the lives of children in need. These programs aim to provide financial assistance and essential resources to children living in poverty or difficult circumstances, typically in developing countries. While the available literature might be limited to only the benefits of Child sponsorship programs on host communities as a form of community development, there is little literature on the role played by child sponsorship projects on the welfare of beneficiaries. Specifically, no such study has been conducted on compassion international in Bweyogerere. Consequently, this research sought to examine the impact of compassion international child sponsorship on the welfare of beneficiaries sponsored under the program. The specific objectives pursued were three: To investigate the impact of child sponsorship on the beneficiaries’ access to formal education, to explore the impact of child sponsorship on the protection of the beneficiary children’s rights in Bweyogerere and to investigate the impact of child sponsorship on the social welfare of the beneficiaries in Bweyogerere. A sample of 200 respondents was purposively selected from a population of 500 project beneficiaries, composed of project ongoing students and alumni. Structured questionnaires, document review, beneficiary and key informant interviews and field-based observation were used to collect data. Validity was ensured through expert reviews while reliability analysis was carried out using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Quantitative data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics while qualitative data was transcribed, analyzed and reported. The study concluded that prior to the project many children within the project area of operation did not have access to formal education, their rights were not protected and their social welfare was poor. However, upon being enrolled into compassion international child sponsorship program, the beneficiaries were able to get access to formal education, their rights were protected and their social welfare improved. The study concluded that the compassion international child sponsorship program played a critical role in the welfare of the beneficiaries. The research therefore recommended that compassion international child sponsorship program should improve more on their objectives in order to ensure more effectiveness in accessing formal education, healthcare and food by enrolled beneficiaries.

The study was carried out using an explanatory research design where a mixed methods research approach was also used. The data were collected using questionnaires and interviews and during the data collection, both purposive and simple random sampling methods were used. A sample size of 52 respondents who were parents of children with disabilities in Bishop West P/S and caregivers of children with disabilities at the school was also used in the study. The study findings revealed a generally positive attitude among caregivers towards children with disabilities, with caregivers expressing comfort in interacting with these children and recognizing their enriching diversity. However, significant challenges persist, including limited access to essential educational resources, communication barriers with school staff, financial burdens, and social stigma. Caregivers employ various coping mechanisms, such as building support networks, engaging in self-care, advocating for their children, and participating in workshops and support groups, to address these challenges. While the school community exhibits inclusivity, there remains room for improvement in supporting children with disabilities and their caregivers. Enhancing awareness and addressing these challenges can contribute to a more inclusive and supportive educational environment for children with disabilities at Bishop West Primary School. Finally, the study recommended that Bishop West Primary School should enhance educational resource accessibility, promote effective communication between caregivers and school staff, expand extracurricular opportunities, explore financial support options for families with children with disabilities, continue disability awareness efforts, provide support networks and counseling, promote parent-teacher collaboration, and implement regular assessments and feedback mechanisms to improve support systems for children with disabilities and their caregivers.

It was carryout an assessment on the government loans if they helped to empower the youth. For example, like acquiring the knowledge and skills from the different projects that were operating such as poultry keeping, brick laying, piggery rearing, hair dressing, carpentry and many others. These were some of the research findings when I went to collect data from the area of the study which was Jinja District. The study involved three (3) of its objectives that is; to establish the effect of training and sensitization on promotion of youth empowerment in Jinja District, to establish the effect of stakeholder mobilization on the promotion of youth empowerment in Jinja District, to establish the challenges facing youth entrepreneurs while accessing government loans in Jinja District and the details were presented in the descriptive statistics shown by the frequency and percentage and the level of agreement represented in the tables. The majority of the respondents were in the age bracket of between 18-25 years and 26-34 years. 60 years and above represented the least of the respondents. The age group represented by 25.0%, 43.8% and 2.5% respectively. It can therefore be concluded that the majority of the respondents were in the most productive age brackets of their life, with young brains ready to run livelihood programs that can change their standards of living and are reasonably able to learn new skills and knowledge for a better living. The research findings also revealed that 62.5% of the respondents were males and 37.5% were female. This indicated that there is no balance of both women and men who get involved in the youth livelihood programs of Jinja district since even the youth leaders, focal point persons and DCDO were all men. However, since men continue to dominate as seen by the high number of men engaged in youth livelihood programs compared to women, this calls for further sensitization of women youths to encourage them join youth livelihood programs so as to change their standards of living. The findings represent the views of the two sex groups about the “effects of government loans on youth empowerment with a case study of youth livelihood programs in Jinja district.” This was necessary for the study to get a balanced picture of the respondents’ views

(Uganda Christian University, 2023-10-04) Harriet Juan Wani Ombasa
This study investigates the Relationship between the Promotion of Women's Empowerment and the Realization of their Rights in Nasuti Sub-County, Mukono District. The research assesses the perspectives of respondents on key statements related to women's empowerment and rights. The findings from Table 4.5 indicate that a significant proportion of respondents strongly agree that women have equal opportunities as men and that opportunities for women have been established to promote their empowerment and rights. However, the study also reveals a lack of consensus on whether the provision of capital to women effectively promotes empowerment and rights. Additionally, the study explores possible solutions to the challenges facing the promotion of women's empowerment and realization of their rights in the same region. Table 4.6 illustrates that enhancing women's skills and providing them with education and capital are perceived as viable solutions. However, there is uncertainty among respondents regarding the importance of proper sensitization. Furthermore, the research identifies the major challenges hindering women's empowerment and rights in Table 4.7. Respondents strongly agree that increasing ignorance among men and negative perceptions about women's education are significant challenges. Unequal access to education is also recognized as a key barrier, while domestic violence is acknowledged as a concern but not universally agreed upon.This study concludes by emphasizing the importance of addressing these challenges to enhance women's empowerment and rights in Nasuti Sub-County, Mukono District. It suggests that efforts should focus on providing women with skills and education, dispelling negative perceptions, and addressing gender-based violence. These findings have implications for policy and program development to promote gender equality and women's rights.
