Namatala, located in Mbale, Uganda, is one of the largest slums in Africa—being home to 44,100 people occupying 4,900 thatched-roofed adobe huts. 

That’s over 44,000 people living in absolute squalor—conditions most of us can’t even imagine. The majority don’t have access to clean, safe, drinking water, and most have never heard the name of Jesus. 

So, how do we know there are exactly 44,100 people living here? Well, we’ve counted every last person and dwelling. Our local Ugandan team has visited with every single resident in Namatala to know the exact number of filters, Gospels, and team members needed to provide everyone with clean water and the Good News of Jesus Christ. 

Now that we know the scope of this project, we’re ready to move fast to reach these families. 

How many families in Namatala will you provide with clean water and the Gospel today?
