About Children Safe Uganda Since 1968 when CSU was founded, the situation of children in Uganda continues to face many challenges-including HIV/AIDS, orphan hood, civil wars and conflict. Child abuse is on the rise and many children escape their foster parents due to corporal punishments; the number of street children has increased, and some have become sex workers. All these changes have increased the number of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). There is therefore a greater call for interventions to address the plight of OVCs in Uganda and the world over.
