Uganda is a country that has faced war for seventeen years now, leaving many people displaced, dying of hunger of disease.  It has become a threat to the entire community and the country at large.  People are migrating from day to day in search of safety.  Hygiene is very poor due to the lack of basic necessities.

The Nkoma Christian Youth Association was formed under St Peter's Church Nkoma in the year 2000 after the rebels of Lord's Resistance Army (L.R.A) and People's Redemption Army intensified their attacks around almost the entire country. This war has left many people displaced, including 1.5 million people living in internally displaced camps. These are the camps such as Kiryandongo, Acholi, Kasese and Katakwi.

Nkoma Christian Youth Association provides the basic needs for the displaced people, orphans, and street children and HIV/ AIDS victims. The Basic needs include: - Food, water, health and shelter/ good accommodation facilities.

Water is a very big problem because in Uganda any good purified tap water is paid for in order to get it, the displaced families are not employed, they don’t have money to buy water and end up drinking dirty water which leads to cause of dysentery, typhoid and cholera.

Health is very poor, diseases such as malaria caused as a result of mosquito bites attack families and the displaced cannot afford a mosquito net.

Accommodation is really very poor because we have constructed temporary grass roofed houses which are very weak in case of heavy rain and wind the houses are washed away and in most cases families end up dying in the houses.

We have also come up to fight child prostitution by sensitizing the dangers of child prostitution such as early pregnancies, dangers of HIV/ AIDS diseases that will be another way to sensitize the young ones about HIV/ AIDS.

We go further and sensitize the general public about the dangers of HIV and AIDS. AIDS being a threat problem in Uganda and Africa as a continent, we have to devise means of fighting it.

And we feel for those who are already infected with the diseases, we need to provide cheaper anti-viral drugs to extend their lives for them to accomplish their plans.

The organization provides basic education to the community, there the government of Uganda has given us an upper hand by providing free education to primary level but the problems come in at secondary and tertiary level.

The government doesn’t provide scholastic materials for the students, to provide scholastic materials and pay fees for a few of those who succeed to go to secondary schools. But most of them drop out after primary level due to financial status.

The organization has another big task of reducing the level of street children in the country, street children are a very big threat to the nation because most of them in future turn into: thieves, buglers and drug abusers. Life on the street has a lot of notorious activities and therefore we need to fight youth of the streets not to suffer the side effects of street children.

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, there is a very big task to teach the community about Jesus because that is the only way the prostitutes, street children, HIV/ AIDS victims and the displaced can transform their lives. With God, everything is possible.
