In Bwaise, more than 100,000 people live in poor conditions. 82% people live under $2 a day. The area is densely populated and large families live in small makeshift homes close to each other.
Families are suffering from hunger created by restrictive measures taken to prevent the COVID-19 virus from spreading. During the ongoing lockdown, people in Bwaise are unable to work and feed themselves. Many families are not receiving food relief from the Government, and are at risk of starving.
