Kampala Capital City Authority ( KCCA) under the leadership of Hajat Sharifah Buzeki, have rescued another batch of 114 children including 82 girls and 32 boys from city streets and immediately transferred them to UWESO Masulita Children’s Home, where they are currently receiving care as efforts continue to trace their families.
The rescue operation was conducted on November 6,2026 and saw 114 street children safely rescued from city streets before being transfered to UWESO Masulita Children’s Home.
Management of KCCA has urged the public not to give money, food or other handouts to children on the streets on grounds that such handouts keep children out of school and expose them to exploitation, abuse and other risks.
The authority noted many street children are used by traffickers who take the money collected by them. On this note ,management of the authority says to help, support registered child care centres and children’s homes so that the assistance reaches children safely, report children on the streets or suspected exploitation through KCCA contacts including 0800 199 000/0711 007 000 or to the nearest police station.
