About Aremo Village, Karamoja, Northern Uganda
Aremo Village is located in Abim District, Karamoja Region which is located in the Northeastern part of Uganda.
The household population of Aremo Village is 1,137 household heads and the total population is approximately 4,550. The population is predominantly farmers; however, the climate of the area is unpredictable and unreliable, leading to poor harvest all year round. This results in annual famine in the region.
The older population is on the verge of extinction as they are left uncared for; some also have the burden of caring for their grandchildren. Almost everyone in Aremo Village lives below a dollar a day and this has impacted negatively on the population. Diseases and alcohol abuse are also rampant, making the younger generation vulnerable. Hence, a vicious cycle of poverty in the community.
About Katwe Slum, Kampala
Katwe Slum is located in Makindye Division, in the capital city of Kampala. It is one of the largest slums in the city. The area that we are working in has approximately 300 households, with an estimated demographic of 60% female and 40% male. Many of the residents in Katwe have come to Kampala from Karamoja. They made the 500 km journey in search of a better life. They are trying to earn a living but their living situation only makes things worse.
85% of the children seen begging on the streets of Kampala are Karamojong.
The majority of residents were not able to attend school due to a lack of school fees, therefore, very few have any sort of education. One of the challenges in Katwe Slum is the rate of teenage pregnancy, largely due to the lack of education. Another challenge is that they currently do not have access to a proper pit latrine in Katwe, which leads to diseases and infections. These are some of the reasons why we have committed to helping this community.
Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor. Proverbs 22:9 NLT
