Answer 1

Answer:

This study focuses on the livelihoods of female-headed households (FHHs) in

Namuwongo slum in Kampala Uganda. The trajectory of FHHs to Namuwongo slum,

their livelihood challenges, and their livelihood strategies for survival are explored. Data

material was collected through qualitative methods, such as in–depth interviews and

observations. The Sustainable Livelihood Approach and Empowerment were adopted as

theoretical frameworks for analysis. There are a number of reasons as to why some slum

households are female headed. These reasons include widowhood and separation and

divorce. Extreme poverty appears is a common feature among FHHs. Despite low levels

of education and lack of regular employment, leaving the FHHs vulnerable; this study

demonstrates that their ability to improvise alternatives for their survival is surprisingly

strong. FHHs both run informal business and involve themselves in casual work to create

income for their households. FHHs also use human capital in the form of family labor as

a way of securing financial capital. Some also involve children in income-generating

activities as a livelihood strategy. Social capital among the FHHs is significant because

they share information, ideas, and livelihood resources to build their assets and find

solutions to their problems. Neighbours and relatives are also used as a strategy to lessen

financial constraints. The female heads of households are members of local savings

groups and projects, such as the sisterhood project that offer financial assistance to their

households. These projects also aid them in sending their children to school. The results

of this study indicate that while FHHs manage to get by, they face some challenges.

These include limited resources, lack of decent housing and infrastructure, and health

risks entailed in living in the slum, such as lack of enough clean and piped water, poor

drainage and flooding after heavy rainfalls.
