Open Air Market

There are supermarkets in Kampala, but on the outskirts there are open-air markets like this one, where you can get all kinds of fresh vegetables.

Getting Water
By Windred Nansubuga and Sara Namuli

In some of the outer suburbs and in the countryside, not everyone has running water in their homes. So, kids have to get up early in the morning to collect water for the family.

mom cooks donuts on outside cook stove Making Crisps and Donuts
By Sarah Namuli

After school treats taste much better when cooked over a charcoal stove! Some folks here in Kampala use these outdoor cook stoves to make traditional treats. Yum!


At Home: Not everyone goes to school, but everyone around Kampala has chores to do. City kids have to take out the trash, while some kids in the outer suburbs have to get water, and firewood every day. Then, there's the shopping and helping Mom make a meal.
