Slum Life Survival (SLS) works to improve the health and well-being of slum communities by expanding equitable access to essential health services, promoting preventive and positive health behaviors, strengthening mental health and referral systems, and integrating health action across all of SLS’s program areas.

In Uganda’s urban informal settlements, overcrowding, poor sanitation, and weak health infrastructure combine to raise the risk of both communicable and non-communicable diseases, and access to quality care remains out of reach for many residents.

SLS’s Health Care program responds directly to this gap, linking preventive, curative, and psychosocial support to the realities of life in slum communities.
