During the day, there is nothing really shocking about the city. “All hell breaks loose at night and Kampala turns this is a supermarket of sex workers,” says 37-year-old Namuli, a newspaper vendor opposite Christ the King Church.
One Saturday, I was shocked when one tiny girl, who looked to be in her mid- 20s, was picked and dropped by five men in just one night.
Pastor David Kaizi of Christian Ministries Kyambogo, has said that Kampala has degenerated into a red light district.
“I am so worried that the world is coming to an end. Parents are just worried about their little children, the little children are now also worried about we the adults because we have become monsters. Women are on the loose on the streets and shameless men are taking advantage of these fragile women.
“We need to pray hard to God to save us from this ‘spiritual cancer’ that is eating the world apart. Unless we come to God, nothing is going to get right.
On the drive over I asked the driver what are the famous sights of Kampala and he pointed at the numerous street walkers which we passed every 10 feet. They were starting their shift for the evening. He continued to explain that these girls are the most famous thing to see in Kampala.
"BUT you must be very careful… all of these girls have AIDS."
"Really?"
"Yes, they all have AIDS here. It is a big problem."
We are excited to be in Uganda, to see many girls lives saved, and hope restored.
