About the area

The community is majorly subsistence peasant country, the average annual household income is $100 for well off families.  There are high levels of vulnerability across all age brackets.

The infrastructure is limited and rural, barely supporting a high population for a rural area, even by Ugandan standards.  Poorly maintained roads impede development, and also impede access to outside services for those who live here.  Kameruka has three major crossroads each supporting a small village.  PCCP is located closest to Nabugalo.   The population within a walking area of 2.5 km of PCCP is around 2,000 persons, or 400 households.
