PROBLEM STATEMENT. The unfavorable demographic profile of the youths, women, men and other vulnerable groups of people in Ndejje Division-wakiso district, where more than half of the population is below 35 years, has led to high levels of dependency and unemployment in the community. Some of the population is too young to work, others unskilled and yet they consume a bulk of family resources like food and health care. According to UBOS, 2014 highlighted that extreme poverty is the main problem faced by People in wakiso District and Uganda at large. The majority of youths live below the poverty line and are often more vulnerable to access basic necessities. The big percentage of people are faced with poor standards of living which is characterized by very poor health care and living conditions including malnutrition, poor clothing, poor housing and poor access to medical care and other necessary social services. The majority are illiterate or semi illiterate and they are ignorant about the opportunities to exploit their abilities and talents. In a shocking mode, the manifestation of generational poverty and deprivation in our community has increased. Most people have grown poor and poorer and yet others get rich and richer in the same location and environment. The wealthy, well educated people can afford extra costs and understand the meaning of good life. Some families cannot afford to meet the basic necessities of life. The livelihoods of our youths and the community at large are worrying. Many of them are engaging in survivalist life styles like gambling, loitering, very violent and dangerous passive group formation and other images of public nuisance. Youths have started abandoning their family responsibilities, families are breaking up, and social cohesion has broken down. All these are transforming into developing challenges and negatively affect our society to offer basic services and goods. Therefore, it is against the above background that Kingdom Focused Youth Family Association has come up with “KFYFAS Project” to reawaken and mobilize all youth members to change their attitude and mindset towards collaborative work through skilling and entrepreneurial supportive project, more so in hands on skills (practical income generating activities/ projects)etc.
