ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The successful completion of this project paper was made possible by the joint efforts of
a number of individuals and Organizations, whose participation I would like to
acknowledge with gratitude.
Firstly, I would like to extend my gratitude to the Project Supervisor Mr. Hermengild
Mtenga for his support, advices and encouragement throughout the period of study and
during report writing. His constructive advices and guidance largely contributed to the
completion of this document.
Special thanks should go to the Course Director Mr. Michel Adjibodou and all Course
Instructors for their tireless efforts, guidance and assistance throughout the entire period
of studying. They were always there when I needed their help and I must accept that
without them I could not attain this achievement.
Finally, my sincere appreciations are extended to members of Quality Life and
Environmental Destiny, Mwanza City Officers and Kirumba Ward members for their
hard working during the project survey and implementation. I'm also more grateful to the
survey respondents who generously contributed part of their time to enable us gather
crucial data for HIV/AIDS and Orphans in Kirumba Ward
