Unfortunately, in addressing the plight of AIDS orphaned children, the dependency syndrome of extrapolating findings from studies done in HICs to the region irrespective of contextual relevance has limited success (White and Robinson, 2000).

Having no better country to ground context relevance of CHHA and AIDS orphanhood issues in SSA, their global epicentre, a study whose findings form the core of this book was conducted in Uganda, a former epicentre of HIV/AIDS and a world model in the battle against HIV/AIDS.
