Visit Katanga Slums, Uganda Museums & Mulago National Referral Hospital

After breakfast, we shall start with Katanga Slum; The Katanga slum is different from others around the Kampala area. It doesn’t have street kids huffing petrol, getting in fights & stabbing each other every night. Instead it’s full of families; mostly single mothers & their children, abandoned by the father, or widowed by AIDS, Malaria, or some other disease or accident.
Many of these women have difficulty finding work to support themselves & their children and so, often, they are forced to turn to prostitution. This is the root of the orphan cycle. Women who abandon their children to the streets, or to some “orphanage” where the kids will receive a bed, school fees, & three-square meals a day; or simply have them adopted.
