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.

    Mamma Emma was relocated to this small one-room home with her five kids, a step up from her prior living situation.  She used to sell vegetables from her small garden until a factory went up across the street, and now her farm doesn't produce.  She now breaks rocks at a nearby quarry and wants nothing more than to be able to send her kids to school.  Two of them are in X-SUBA's Learning Center hoping to get a sponsorship, one of them is currently sponsored, and she's struggling to pay tuition for the fourth.  She loves it when her kids come home and share what they learned, and is grateful for the opportunity X-SUBA can provide in the interim.
    This brother and sister live in this mud-and-stick home in the Soweto neighborhood, the poorest in Soweto.  These buildings contain four to six single-room units for different families.  They have no electricity or running water.  A community water spigot is nearby, but the water must be purchased at prices that put further strain on struggling families.
    Soweto, one of the poorest neighborhoods in Walukuba.  Trash is scattered everywhere and contributes to health problems within the community.  X-SUBA is educating the youth in the community about the dangers of litter, hoping the children can change the attitude of the adults.
