Bisoro thanked Good Hope and RWECO through European Union for the support to
the town council. The town clerk too in his closing remarks welcomed the
programme and commented that it is the first of this kind in this area and
recommended it should expand in terms of the period.
Among the issues discussed were. Government should put
in more efforts about the nutrition of people living with HIV/AIDS, the
problems of youths who have become drug addicts other than engaging themselves
in constructive work, a lot of school drop outs due to the lack of proper
guidance by parents, domestic problems among others, there is inadequate
accessibilities to information, stigma to PWDs and persons living with HIV/AIDS
for instance the funds for PWDs never reach them “ Mr. Mugisa Fred Chairperson
PWDs Nyahuka town council had this to
comment “ 6 millions funds meant for PWDs
did not reach them, the district instead
used it for some thing different” and low self esteem is affecting the
vulnerable groups.
