A FOUL smell. Dirty and hungry-looking children. Garbage and endless rows of shacks on the verge of collapsing
A FOUL smell. Dirty and hungry-looking children. Garbage and endless rows of shacks on the verge of collapsing.
Such are the conditions that the people of Namuwongo LC1 Village have learnt to live with, writes Herbert Ssempogo.
It is those conditions that prompted the Rotary Club of Kololo Muyenga to set up a sh9.5m project aimed at fishing the people out of the abject poverty they are facing.
The project includes a fully equipped poultry unit of over 368 birds, exercise and textbooks, pencils, handcrafts and desks.
The other part of the project was constructing the floor of a church being used by over 100 children as a school. The President Rotary Muyenga, John Mubiru, handed over the project.
