CHILD OF HOPE, NAMATALA SLUM UGANDA: The effects of covid-19 lockdown continue to bite hard for hungry families. While parents are away from the home trying to look for food, hungry children can be seen wandering around drinking outlets looking for anything to fill their hungry stomachs. They beg for any dregs of alcohol, sometimes spirits.
With a lack of food in Namatala, there has been increased incidence of alcohol dependency in both children and adults. Thankfully this is one of the dangers Child of Hope helps to keep its pupils safe from.
