In the eastern part of Uganda Mbale Namatala slums, over 17 people live with disabilities, of which most are neither collage nor university graduates and have no hands on skills, no businesses and not credit worthy, this means no money, no food, no medicine - nothing. This has seen them end up stark in a circle of poverty and forced to live with no food or less than $1 a day. Evenmore, most of them are unemployed, and have to move a distance of at least 8 km to the city to beg for food staff or money from shops and strangers.

The second wave of COVID-19 has hit Uganda hard. With the increased rates of the COVID-19 patients and death in the country, this has called for the second lockdown of the nation. Despite being disabled, the total lockdown was imposed with no source of income nor welfare support directed to the disabled people. This has made their life extraordinarily hard living them isolated and struggling to survive. The vulnerable has seen themselves go a day or days without a meal or have one meal a day.
