Age Care Development (ACD) - Uganda started 2002 with a 98 year old man who later died at the age of 102 he had no one to look after him after his wife and children died with HIV/AIDS. Afterwards many women and men came up with an idea of starting it that lost their children in various circumstances like War, Malaria, Landslides, Road accidents and HIV/AIDS.
