The number of single mothers has started to increase just because most of the girls are being pregnant and left a lone hustling with out help from the fathers of the baby.
According to the bureau of statistics report single mothers increased to 30% in 2023 and most of them are between 18-35 which means they are all the youth.Uganda has one organisation that supports poor single parents and that is Single Parents Association of Uganda and of which we are very sure that it cannot be accessed by everyone because of the increased corruption it may even be helping the well off couples.
There is no one willing to be a single mother though some of them take it like that. these people are suffering a lot to rise their children as one person since most of them are not employed as some were defiled and others dropped out of schools.
Uganda should at least have an approved budget and a member of parliament representing single mothers because they are doing a very great job of reducing on the number of street kid who are the cause of most cases we are registering in Uganda today. the most of bad behaviours of theft, drug abuse, defilement and mudder are mostly caused by street kids and therefor why shouldn’t Uganda have budget for these few people who persist to suffer and take care of there children without allowing them to go on street and cause congestion in town.
These people are strong bonded that though they are not employed in big offices they hustle a lot to get what to feed their kids what to put on and for school fees.
These people are the ones with the most educated children because they hustle a lot in their suffering as they sleep with empty stomach trying to save for the future of their kids and at the end you hear a say that Ugandan child.
