Buganda is at a slow pace towards development.  The basic social infrastructure has broken down over time.  A cross section of the people has bad anti-work ethics.  People work for very limited time yet expect to meet the basic necessities of life.  This has kept them in abject poverty and poor living conditions. To catalyze rural development therefore, the program will create awareness, guide in developmental activities, advise, train and support all efforts directed towards community social development.
