Lack of Education services has the devastating potential to create a severe of economic impacts. Orphans have straggled with life and they need a hand that can support them through Education that can equip them with constructive Knowledge and reliable access to future employments. It is noticed that 80 % of orphans in their productive years, lack direction which has contributed greatly in affecting the development and economic out-put of the country. In Uganda, Orphans contribute 85 % to the economy of the country.
