please pray for the residents of Naguru and Nakawa. on Monday, the residents of these
neighborhoods (just few kilometers from my house) were suddenly and forcefully
evicted by the Kampala City government.
Several of our Hope Alive! children and families were among those who lost their
homes. Emma, (pictured above) was called home from school in the middle of the day
to find his family’s belongings being throw outside before his home was bulldozed. Now
his family will have to split up in order for them to find affordable housing and for
Emma to continue school.
Although the government had been threatening this relocation for years, the final
move came suddenly and many lost not only their homes and shelter, but also
livelihood and community. Close to 2,000 people have been forced to relocate without
compensation.
