| dc.description.abstract | This research aimed to look at the parents’ perspectives in relation to what the Parish Development Model (PDM) has been able to contribute towards their children’s development since the parents had joined this program. This study focused on the understanding of the two major development indicators or aspects, that is, education and Health. This study was also based in one of the Parishes in Mukono Municipality, known as Nsuube-Kauga Parish, and to get in-depth views from the parents, I considered using a qualitative data collection method by administering an interview script with open-ended questions to give their respective contributions towards the effect PDM has made in their children’s lives. This also looked at 20 respondents in the data collection. According to the research findings, PDM has led to a growth in household income, which has created a positive impact on their children's educational achievements. Some parents shared that they can now afford to pay school fees on time, provide necessary scholastic materials, and ensure their children attend school regularly, which contributed to a better academic performance in their education. Additionally, the survey revealed that the same increase in income also led to an improvement in the children's access to better healthcare services, by allowing families to seek immediate treatment, buy medications, and meet essential needs like nutrition. However, some respondents mentioned some challenges they have encountered, like delays in fund disbursement, inadequate funding, and limited project sustainability, which hindered their ability to get timely and meaningful positive results from their intended project investments. From the analysis, it was realized that PDM is a good economic empowerment that significantly enhances children's overall development through its effort to enhance the household income capacity. And this growth in incomes can also support the general development and well-being of children in these families. The study also gives recommendations for enhancing its implementation through timely and sufficient funding, better monitoring and supervision, and offering financial literacy and mindset change programs. In regard to this study, we see that Social Workers play a great role in making sure that vulnerable groups of people are linked to economic benefits like PDM that contribute lasting improvements in their well-being as a family, including the children. | |
