Tondeka runs a Soup Kitchen monthly at Kampala Central streets.
Tondeka Foundation supports community systems development through atleast 4 HEEL avenues namely:
- Health services and counselling via medical camps.
- Education: develop bankable skills like adult literacy, craft academy.
- Economic Empowerment by collective production and marketing of artefacts.
- Leadership: developing positive mindsets and social-cultural values.
There are many reasons as to why some people choose to live on the street corner: most of them point to broken or dysfunctional families.
Why SILT?

Life has not be so kind to some of our own citizens. Research is still going on as to what causes a person (or a whole family) to camp on the street-side and turn it into their home. Without life savings or an income, they are left with the one alternative: live the streets.
- Elders: Unable to return to their upcountry homes, they are stuck in Kampala.
- Child: Many run away from home due to domestic violence and chronic poverty.
- Youths: These have grown up onto the streets and so feel at home on the streets.
