CASESTORY FOR NAMAGANDA
Namaganda isa 15 year old domestic worker who was brought from Nakasongola to work as a domestic worker in Kampala at an agreed amount of 50,000/= per month. During Justine’s course of employment, the employer realized that she was pregnant and therefore she was facilitated with tablets to abort the pregnancy which resulted into complications.
The incident was brought to the notice of the neighbors who reported to police and this led to the arrest of Namaganda’s employer who was later released on police bond. PLA was also notified about the case by one of the trained taskforce members (these are trained community volunteers who are tasked with reporting child labour incidents in their communities) and thus PLA acted by withdrawing Namaganda from the employer’s home and took her to hospital for medical attention. Upon her recovery, Namaganda was enrolled at Nile Vocational Institute to undertake a vocational course in hairdressing and was awarded a certificate of completion in December 2017. Namaganda is currently working in a saloon in Kamuli district in Buyende village where she earns 50,000/= as her monthly wages.
