Kampala is Uganda's national and commercial capital bordering Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake. Hills covered with red-tile villas and trees surround an urban centre of contemporary skyscrapers. In this downtown area, the Uganda Museum explores the country's tribal heritage through an extensive collection of artefacts. On nearby Mengo Hill is Lubiri Palace, the former seat of the Buganda Kingdom.

Namuwongo (often spelled Namwongo) is a densely populated, low-income slum area located in the southeast of Kampala, Uganda's capital. Situated in the Makindye Division, it faces significant challenges, including poverty where many families live on less than $1 a day, and vulnerability to heavy rains.

Key Aspects of Namuwongo:

Location: Situated in a low-lying area within Kampala, making it prone to flooding, with nearby, more affluent areas like Muyenga.

Community & Support: The area is home to a Community of Sant'Egidio project that provides food and medical care, particularly for the elderly.
Infrastructure & Economy: It features a mix of informal housing, small businesses, and is known for a high density of residents, including many who have been affected by environmental damage.

Landmarks: The area is in proximity to International Hospital Kampala (IHK).
Sports: It is associated with the Namwongo Blazers Basketball Club, which competes in the National Basketball League
