| dc.description.abstract | Since its founding up to now, the dissertation below under the title "the effects that the Mbuyu Foundation's programmes on the socioeconomic development of Katanga community" seeks to document the impact which the Mbuyu foundation programmes have had on the Katanga, a slum community situated in Wandegeya within the capital city of Uganda. The goal of this study is to evaluate the degree to which the various programs launched and carried out by the Mbuyu Foundation educational programmes such as read for life and adult literacy, healthcare programs such as maternal care and workshops, and skill-building programmes such as beading and tailoring have an impact on the community and the lives of its residents. In order to provide a thorough analysis of the Foundation's contributions to this community, data was gathered from 70 respondents using a mixed-methods approach through surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions. Thanks to the Mbuyu's interventions from the time of founding up to current, key results reveal the notable increases in literacy rates, health outcomes, and economic empowerment among the people of Katanga. The study also emphasises difficulties the Foundation faces including limited programme reach, limited resources, problems involving community involvement, and inadequate infrastructure. There are plenty of ideas to make these projects more sustainable and effective. The research enhances the body of knowledge already in use on the function of nonprofit organisations in urban slum development by offering insights to legislators, practitioners, and next generations of researchers | |
