Katanga Slum
  • 1h
Katanga Slum, situated in Kampala, Uganda, near Makerere University and Wandegeya, is one of the city’s largest informal settlements. It is characterised by a dense population living under challenging conditions, with many houses made from basic materials like iron sheets and bricks. The area experiences inadequate infrastructure and limited access to essential services such as clean water, sanitation, healthcare, and education. Residents often contend with overcrowded living spaces, poor waste management, and prone areas to flooding during heavy rains. Despite the obstacles, Katanga is known for its vibrant community spirit. The residents predominantly engage in informal economic activities, including small-scale trading, artisanal work, and casual labour, contributing significantly to Kampala's informal economy.
