Ghetto Research Lab Uganda

In Kampala’s Lost City, an informal ghetto beneath the power lines running between two neighborhoods in Uganda’s capital city, people are forced to confront many of humanity’s toughest challenges.

Shack homes have emerged on top of piles of trash.

Yet, food does not grow on trash.

Proper sanitation can’t be built on trash.

Diseases spread when flooding combines with trash.

It is in this unstable environment where a collective of local youths, proudly named the Ghetto Research Team, have joined together to incubate ideas and solutions that can solve many of the problems facing their own vulnerable community
