MyGanda: Week 2 of my Uganda photography project

During my second week here in Uganda, I shot a lot of intense subject matter. To say that life is difficult for women and children here in the slums of Kampala is an understatement. I am currently putting together two separate stories; one on the extreme trials of children living in the slums and the other on teenage girls and young women forced into prostitution to support themselves and sometimes their families.


In the meantime, here is another photo that I took in the Katanga slum.


Several young children peer into a home in the Katanga slum in
Kampala, Uganda.

  1. Great pictures! I was going to go out and buy some new toys for my little girl but after seeing your photo of the young boy playing with the old mattress I am thinking she has enough toys for now.
