About Meeting Point
Kampala
Meeting Point offers a
range of services to men, women, children and youth infected and affected
by HIV/AIDS all over Kampala and Wakiso District.
Naumowngo is one of the suburbs of Kampala City located 4 kilometers
southeast of the city center. Within Namuwongo there is a slum called
“Soweto” a swampy area being occupied by very poor and disadvantaged
people who cannot access resources that can make them afford to live a
decent and a better quality of life.
The community is inhabited by people from Northern Uganda, Congo, Rwanda,
Kenya and others from Southern Sudan who over the years due to wars in
their regions came to the city to inhabit the slum. The insurgence of the
Lords Resistance Army, the SPLA, and the Rwandese genocidepushed big
numbers of refugees to thisslum. This incidence has rendered life in this
area socially challenging. So mostof the beneficiaries of Meeting Point
Kampala come from this area although others are also from other parishes
in the Makindye Division and different parts of Kampala District.
