NATIONAL SLUM DWELLERS FEDERATION OF ------NSDFU ------!

! ! YOUTH AND THE FEDERATION ! Over 60% of Uganda’s urban population lives in slums and youths comprise the majority of this population. The National Slum Dwellers Federation of Uganda (NSDFU) and its supporting NGO ACTogether Uganda know that unless this youth population is inspired and empowered to make their lives and the lives of those in their community better, our cities will face a bleak future.

The National Slum Dwellers Federation of Uganda is a member of the Slum Dwellers International (SDI) network, which spans 33 countries and has a membership of over 1,000,000 slum dwellers. In each country the federations are comprised of a network of savings groups. Savings are used to bring people together; to build financial and collective capacity; and to build a federation that is capable of negotiating with government as well as planning and executing slum upgrading initiatives.
