In Uganda, the slums of Kampala are some of the most challenging environments, deeply entrenched in poverty and scarcity. These informal settlements, characterized by overcrowded conditions and inadequate infrastructure, house a significant portion of the urban population. Residents struggle with a severe lack of basic needs, including clean water, sanitation, and healthcare. Poor housing, waste management, and minimal access to essential services perpetuate cycles of poverty. Women and children in these communities are particularly vulnerable, facing distinct hardships that require targeted intervention and support.
