Official title:
SUUBI MAKA ("Hope for Families"): A Family-Based Economic Empowerment Model for Orphaned Children in Uganda
The overall goal of SUUBI-MAKA is to further develop and preliminarily examine a family economic empowerment intervention that creates economic opportunities (specifically Children Development Accounts) for families in Uganda who are caring for children orphaned due to the AIDS pandemic, and to lay groundwork for a bigger study with practice and policy implications for Sub-Saharan Africa.
The study has two specific aims (1) To conduct formative work in order to understand
children and families´ ability and interest in participating in a family-level economic
empowerment intervention focused on savings and family income generation, and their response
to this family-focused economic empowerment approach alongside additional intervention
components, including savings for youth education and adult mentorship. (2) Based on
formative data (Aim #1), to adapt the intervention and examine issues related to feasibility
and preliminary outcome on a small scale in order to prepare for a larger study.
The intervention, SUUBI-MAKA, uses a novel approach by focusing on economic empowerment of
families caring for children orphaned due to AIDS. The intervention has three key components
(1) it promotes family-level income generating projects (micro-enterprises) which we believe
will enhance economic stability, reduce poverty, and enhance protective family processes for
youth orphaned by AIDS. (2) It promotes monetary savings for educational opportunities for
AIDS-orphaned children. (3) It provides an adult mentor to children. The intervention will
be evaluated via a two-group randomized trial. The two groups are SUUBI-MAKA or Usual care
for orphaned children. The participating children will be nested within 20 primary schools
that will be randomly assigned such that all children from a particular school receive the
same intervention.
