STM is working to address poverty, among aging parents, water, and sanitation, health. Through holistic approaches. It is believed that most of the aging parents spent most of the time paying school fees or enjoying while investing in relatives. It�??s believed in Uganda 85% of aging parents die before the right time due to stress, neglect from relatives and also lack of facility from their sons. It is believed that in Africa people believes that old is gold but the current generation if you look at old is wastage of resources which has left many old parents in devastating situation. Youth have neglected the aging person and resorted to selling off property a case in Uganda where land has been sold off and aging person has remained homeless.
