Abstract
This study is aimed at finding out the effects of HIV/AIDS in social development of
children aged 4-6years in Kalungi sub county- Nakasongola District. Most of the African
communities have not accepted HIV/AIDS as a disease but it is associated with witchcraft
and curses
This has led to a lot of deaths in our societies hence leaving many children in our societies
affected and others infected.
In most African societies, the effect of HIV/AIDS has caused a lot of harm in both the
affected and infected children. Stigmatization has made millions of the affected and
infected children to develop anti—social behavior. The research has shown this kind of
behavior especially with street children and in children homes.
The holistic growth and development of children and especially the already affected and
infected ones should however be considered equally important to avoid poor social
development. The challenge goes to the caregivers, relatives of the orphaned children and
teachers to identify these children early enough so as to accept them in their status and find
ways of staying and dealing with them.
The study intends to give an insight to people staying and working with children as well as
handling children’s affairs to enable them to understand the acceptable and unacceptable
social practices found within the African communities and how they influence children’s
social development. These people include pre-school teachers, Sunday school teachers.
parents and other care givers. It also intends to equip these people with suitable
information and knowledge on the importance of social growth and development and how
to monitor its sub sequential progress. By acquiring the knowledge about the affected and
infected children will receive the required social support which will enable them cope with
the problems surrounding the world today
