The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has dispatched 200 children rescued from the streets of Kampala to Napak District to resume formal education after completing rehabilitation.
The children had been undergoing rehabilitation at Masulita Children’s Village (MCV) in Wakiso District, where they received care and support to prepare them for reintegration into school and their communities.
KCCA Executive Director Sharifah Buzeki has warned individuals who traffic children to Kampala and exploit them for financial gain, saying the Authority will investigate and prosecute those involved.
Authorities say many of the children on Kampala’s streets originate from Karamoja, where they are brought to the capital and used to solicit money from the public.
Each child is reportedly expected to collect at least Shs5,000 every day, regardless of their circumstances, with the money going to the people controlling or exploiting them.
KCCA says the operation is part of broader efforts to remove children from the streets, protect them from exploitation and ensure they return to education and their families.
