Uganda (Photographers Without Borders)

Photos from my March 2019 trip to Jinja, Uganda on assignment for Photographers Without Borders.
The assignment was to document the work of X-SUBA Sport4Development Uganda, an NGO that gets disadvantaged children into sports and provides educational opportunities when they can't afford to go to school.

    One of the neighborhoods in Walukuba.  The yellow jugs - old oil jugs - are used to carry water.  Most houses don't have running water so they need to purchase water at nearby spiogots, where they can spend as much as a quarter of their daily earnings on water.
    This cottage is typical of the ones constructed for factory workers in the mid-20th century.  It was a prosperous time for Walukuba.  Families continued to live here after Idi Amin shut down the factories in the 1970s because they had nowhere else to go, but jobs were gone.  Economic recovery has been extremely slow and is ongoing.
