Poverty Clinical Trial
Official title:
The SUUBI Program: Creating Asset-Ownership Opportunities and Health Promotion Among Orphaned Children in Uganda
This study examines an economic empowerment model of care and support for orphaned adolescents in rural Uganda. The Suubi intervention focuses on economic empowerment of families caring for orphaned youths. It attempts to address the health risks and poor educational achievements resulting from poverty and limited options.
The AIDS epidemic and a 20‐year civil war have had a devastating impact on Uganda. The
events have led to population displacement, worsening living conditions, exacerbation of
poverty, and disruption of already weakened social service systems. As implemented, the
Suubi Project goes considerably beyond the usual care, which primarily consists of
institutionalization and reactive strategies (involving food and material aid).
Specifically, the intervention promotes children's savings accounts, also known as children
development accounts, for postprimary education and microenterprise development (i.e.,
development of small income‐generating businesses).
The Suubi intervention is grounded in asset theory (Sherraden 1990, 1991), which holds that
assets (e.g., savings, educational opportunities, and economic opportunities in the form of
income‐generating activities or microenterprises) have important economic, social, and
psychological benefits for individuals and families. Asset building is increasingly viewed
as a critical factor for reducing poverty, improving psychosocial functioning, and
positively affecting attitudes and behaviors.
