Mpererwe
Mpererwe is a neighborhood in the city of Kampala, Uganda's capital city. Sometimes it is spelled as Mpereerwe.
Location
Mpererwe is in Kawempe Division in northern Kampala. It is bordered by Katalemwa in Wakiso District to the north, Kisaasi to the east, Kanyanya to the south, and Kawempe to the west. This location is approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi), by road, north of Kampala's central business district.[1] The coordinates of Mpererwe are 0°22'55.0"N 32°34'31.0"E (Latitude:0.381950; Longitude:32.575275).[2]
Overview
Mpererwe is a trading centre that is gradually turning into a busy commercial area. Schools, gas stations, small-scale factories, hospitals, and a cinema hall are in this neighborhood. In up to 50 percent of homes, backyard urban agriculture is practiced.[3][4] Because of the rapid urbanisation rate coupled with high unemployment, particularly among young people, the area is prone to crime.[5] Despite those challenges, the neighborhood remains close-knit, with a modest cost of living compared to other areas of the city.[6]
