Public welfare, in our context, means the stewardship of natural environments and of human communities in order to enhance social, economic, psychological, cultural and physical functioning for now and in the future. This also empathizes the aspect of social welfare which is intended to ensure that members of a society can meet basic human needs such as food, shelter, clothing, medical, etc.
It encompasses a range of social services, benefits, and support systems designed to promote the welfare and prosperity of all members of society. Public welfare initiatives play a crucial role in addressing social inequalities, enhancing human development, and ensuring a more inclusive and equitable society.

Why we Care!

The public we serve is increasingly vocal about public welfare issues and is showing us what succeeds and fails. They are demanding changes to improve quality of life. Poverty, unemployment, unequal opportunity, racism, tribalism, malnutrition, substandard housing, employment discrimination, child abuse and neglect, crime and substance abuse are the welfare problems which Ugandans face. Not only these problems affect many people directly, but they also affect all of us indirectly. The drug-abusing driver becomes the potential traffic accident that doesn’t choose its victims by race, color, or creed but does so randomly. The child of abusive parents all too often becomes the victim or perpetrator of family violence as an adult. These problems tend to develop when we become neglectful but they can be prevented if our social institutions are working well?
