Faith Untapped
Foreword
By Lord Carey of Clifton Tearfund Vice President & former Archbishop of Canterbury
When I see the devastation that HIV and AIDS are wreaking across Africa, I can understand why people talk of losing hope. My wife and I have seen evidence of this terrible scourge in South Africa, Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and elsewhere. Families, communities, whole nations are in the grip of an appalling pandemic which is gnawing away at the very fabric of society.
Study of the Response by Faith-Based Organizations to Orphans and Vulnerable Children
Introduction
International agencies are increasingly recognizing the role of religious organizations in establishing effective HIV/AIDS interventions. Despite some negative perceptions of their role and impact, faith-based organizations (FBOs) are among the most viable institutions at both local and national levels and have developed experience in addressing the multi-dimensional impact of AIDS and its particular impact on children.

A case study of legal form in Uganda as part of a strategy for promoting community-based care
INTRODUCTION
The principal aim of this study is to review the recent legal reform/review process in Uganda from the particular perspective of how it has promoted community-based care. The two reform measures that will be described and analysed from this view point are the Approved Schools (Babies and Children’s Homes) Rules, 1991 (Statutory Instruments No. 13 & 14) and the Child Law Review Committee’s (CLRC) proposals concerning the reform of various laws concerning children as presented to government in its Report of March 1992.
