Hundreds of slum dwellers from Nsoba slum in Kawempe Division thronged Nsoba gardens on September 22 to get lunch, a meal that is considered a luxury by most urban poor.
By 8am, families that were mobilized by local authorities had already settled at the venue where food was to be served by Indian philanthropists from North Gujarat Association Uganda (NGA).
At around 10:30 am, a truck carrying huge saucepans of cooked food arrived at the venue amid ululation from the visibly hungry children and women.
As the crowd matched towards the truck, children were immediately asked to line up so that they could be served the long awaited meal.
The area LC I Chairperson of Nsoba East, Mulago III, Mr Harman Katongole revealed that most families living in slums areas within his area of jurisdiction have one meal a day due to jaw dropping poverty levels.
