According to our research, we have seen that in Uganda, especially in Iganga district, many children and youth drop out of school before completing their studies when many parents have no money to support their children for further studies, this has caused many children to be come young parents, by beginning poor family foundations. This has contributed to so many bad habits and complicated people in the society especially due to luck of jobs and Skills to help earn a living. So WOLVOC has seen the need of the society, that’s why the planning committee established this project.
