As an organisation, we started in 2019 and were founded Eligu Ronald. Ronald was raised in the slums of Namuwongo, Kampala. Growing up in the slum exposed Ronald to all the real life challenges in the slum watching most of his childhood friends perish into teenage pregnancies, drug abuse, poverty and youth unemployment, cases of gender based violence against women increasing each day, Ronald could
not wait any longer for a messiah but decided to become one of the life changers.. In 2019, we began with just 15 young mothers, 2 male young adult but now support over 250 individuals and their families through our different programmes that is to say, Skills for life which is a three months vocational training program for illiterate young mothers, The turning Point, The Ross House project and one time vocational skills. In all of our work, we continue to maintain the personal community involvement that has become the trademark of TOUCH THE SLUM . We pride ourselves on having a close working relationship with our beneficiaries and for our hands-on approach to our work. OUR VISION
A self-reliant generation of responsible citizens that will work together to develop their community beginning with their families. OUR MISSION
Eradicating extreme poverty and facilitate long lasting change in the life of vulnerable young mothers and children through character development and vocational skills. Teen girls in the slum face poverty, pregnancy, and a lack of education.
