Zombo District Health Officer, Dr Mark Bonny Bramali reveals that 70% of the recorded 2186 teenage pregnancy cases recorded are for girls between the age of 14 and 16 years. This results from idleness and among youths who in turn engage in to sexual relationship instead of doing production work. 

ZORUDENA’s vision is to create jobs and economic growth in developing the nation. Therefore, we have a project for skilling the youth and women for improved livelihood.

We are aware that the development of the people of Uganda needs participation of the rural community in order to achieve all the millennium development goals. It is upon this background that, members to ZOMBO RURAL DEVELOPMENT NETWORK ASSOCIATION (ZORUDENA) have come together to make a firm commitment for the development of the majority and the under privileged classes. Commitment has been made to ensure gradual socio-economic development, production processes and sustained material and cultural development in the standard of living of people through planned economic development. It has been committed that basic needs of people such as food, clothing, shelter, health and education facilities as well as employment, human rights , right to work and social security will be provided . There are promises to remove rural urban disparity through the development of agriculture, cottage and rural industries. Rural electrification, development of transport and communication, improved nutritional level and public health and ensure equal opportunity for all.

REALIZING that poverty, illiteracy, incapacitation and several socio-economic issues hinder efforts, ZORUDENA is formulated to bridge the gap that can lead to improved standard of living of the vulnerable people of Zombo district. Convinced that, this can be addressed through the primary focus of promoting human development by increasing human capacity as well as improving human conditions. Human capacity and productivity can be increased by installing positive outlook and teaching new skills through diverse skills training and at the same time by empowerment of the people. Improving human conditions involves not only adequate income, good feeding, safe water for drinking, good sanitation, family planning services, safe and healthy environment etc. Human development is reflected in enhanced status of individuals both in the family and in the society beginning from the rural background. This has led to the formation of the non profit making organization called ZOMBO RURAL DEVELOPMENT NETWORK ASSOCIATION (ZORUDENA).
