The Ghetto Film Project is a non-governmental organization in Kampala, Uganda that uses films to rehabilitate, empower, mentor and tell the story of Kampala slums. The company was founded on July 20, 2013 by Uganda filmmaker George Stanley Nsamba in Naguru, a slum in Kampala. In 2013, following its rapidly growing interest in the Ugandan film industry, Nsamba decided to set up an organization that will help guide and empower youth in communities once known as famous children when growing up. The organization is made up mostly of youth and children aged between 3 and 15 years and some women from the community.
