Topic: This case study of Bududa District, Eastern Uganda, is about the implementation of Children voice at Home. In Uganda, Bududa District in particular, most homes and adults consider children as naïve about what they want, what they go through, the challenges they experience and cannot define their future aspirations. This has left many young people growing up without confidence, falling into traps of those regarded as elders’/sugar dads., and indeed Many girls have ended up in early marriages, dropping out of school and many children are experiencing child labor yet with nobody to defend them, nobody on their side, and nobody listening to their voice. The extent to which children voice is listened to in this community is not documented. Hence there is a need to conduct a study to evaluate the extent children voices are implemented and incorporated in the day today running of homes. The big question in this study is on when, on what, do children’s voice count at household level. In the study suggestions, and adoptable recommendations will be sought to promote children voice at household level and in society they live in.
