INTRODUCTION:
According to a research carried out by Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency(SIDA),it suggests that Ugandaf aces several social issues which include; poverty, unemployment, poor health and medications, housingproblems, pooreducation,and other political related issues.
There is alarming concerns which needi mmediate interventions. These interventions can be directed or focus on; relief, education and sustainability.
Professor Staffan Hojer of Gothenburg University suggests that these social issues have to be intervened by both local and international community.
The Ugandan government has allowed the NGOs, CSOs and CBOs to intervene in order to bridge the gap and also alleviate these social issues. But still there is much more needed.
Link Hands Uganda continues every month to reach out to needy people and attend to their problems. This is solemnly due to the monthly support (SEK4099) from the Swedish family through Mr. Anders.

Leo Musobya was diagnosed with malnutrition; he is bedridden at Nalufenya children’s hospital. He’s on medication. Link Hands Uganda paid his medical bills and also helped his parents with food in the Hospital.
