Despite the services provided by both Social intervention and welfare of vulnerable groups in Uganda mainly in Kibaale District, performance is still poor. This could be due to the following impacts which include; Differences in wealth, social standing, connectedness, and other factors can lead to very different outcomes where health issues are concerned. For a middle- or upper-class family in many countries, a minor health problem — missing a few days of work, paying a modest sum for treatment — might be just an annoyance. For a poor family, it might be the difference between a roof over their heads and homelessness. or between children attending school and dropping out to go to work. Discrimination, high stress levels, employment conditions, and other factors can result in disparities in health and health care among different groups. A Stratified random sampling method and Observation method were used in the study. Interviews and Questionnaires were used to collect primary and secondary sources of data from 60 out of 72 respondents, using simple random sampling. Data analysis was done using SPSS’s frequencies and percentage means. Human capital theory was the main conceptual framework of this thesis. The basic idea in human capital theory is that an individual can be viewed as having a specific stock of human capital or capabilities, such as health, knowledge (education) and wealth, which, like any other capital item, produces a flow of services (benefits) enabling one to be productive in the market sector where they produce money earnings or in the household where they produce other commodities, e.g. child rearing, that feed directly into their utility function. Finally the report looked at the study results and gave the discussion of each finding. Therefore, here, data analysis, procedures and response rate are focused on. Then the findings conclusions and recommendations are presented. The report also showed the work plan for the whole research, the budget as distributed right from the topic inception up to research presentation, the questionnaire and finally the observation guide.
