There are approximately 4million slum dwellers living in Kampala City representing about 60% of Kampala's population, we have a number of small and big slums around, This is still a big problem for everyone because the government does not own much of the land that makes the city, a bigger percentage of it is owned by His Majesty the Kabaka of Buganda (King), the Royal family, the church, the mosques and other private landlords who owned the land during the 1894 – 1900's agreement while serving in the colonial times. It requires a lot of funds at the moment for the government to compensate these people and still, the government has not taken much time to sensitize its citizens the benefits of patriotism. Most of the people in these slums are the native Ugandans through the original settlers were Somalis, Burundians, Rwandans and northerners, people from Somalia and the people from the north of Kenya, and the other is southwest of Uganda. These slums include "Katanga, Kisenyi, Kimombasa, Kalerwe, Bwaise, Kafunda, Kasubi, Kabalagala Kivulu, etc." Today they occupy a huge percentage of the slums, because of unemployment; there is high tension in these slums each time you move around, sexual abuse, drug abuse,theft, etc. at all times. However, visiting these slums will bring you memories, the people are very friendly regardless of their poor life. Young children will run around you while holding and shaking your hands and shouting at you in Luganda language ''MUZUNGU or ABAZUNGU'' meaning the white person or persons, the elders will keep smiling and shaking your hands. It's not good to just take any one's pictures but some people even elders will forcefully ask you for their pictures to be taken. it's not a big issue they will make it easier for you to take their picturesby just standing in front of your camera. don't forget carrying sweets and biscuits for the children, in most cases when giving out small gifts even the elders will line up to share, so you need to carry not a lot but enough.
