Kampala Metropolitan Area is a prime example of a city that has grown beyond its administrative boundaries.
The city itself, originally planned for a population of 150,000 people, now spans an area that includes the surrounding districts of Mpigi, Mukono and Wakiso with a population of more than 3 million people.
Due to the high population growth in the city unemployment levels have continued to increase causing social problems within communities around the city.
These social problems include high crime rates, a lack of shelter for many people, increased poverty levels, illiteracy, malnutrition, abortion, and child neglect.
In the interest of finding solutions to some of the problems in the Kampala metropolitan area, Florence Babies’ Village as an organization started a home for babies who were abandoned, neglected, orphaned, and needy.
