KCCA Rescues 114 Vulnerable Children in Kampala Street Operation

The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has successfully removed 114 children from hazardous conditions on the streets of the capital during a targeted evening operation.

Among the rescued minors are 82 girls and 32 boys. City authorities launched the intervention to protect vulnerable youth from the severe dangers of street life, such as exploitation, abuse, and harsh daily environments.

According to KCCA, the minor children are being transferred to the Masulita Children’s Village. At this facility, they will undergo comprehensive rehabilitation programs designed to help them heal, return to formal education, and reconnect with their families and home communities.

This latest sweep forms part of a broader, ongoing citywide campaign by local authorities to address the persistent issue of street-connected children in Kampala. KCCA has emphasized that similar rescue missions will continue across various neighborhoods to ensure that every minor is placed in a safer, nurturing setting rather than surviving on urban roadways.
