Overview
Ndeeba lies on the main highway (A-109), between Kampala and Masaka. It was a trading center and a lower middle-class residential area in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, Ndeeba has morphed into a busy metropolitan area with businesses, small industries, retail shops and a thriving farmers market. Many of the leading financial houses in Uganda maintain branches in the area due to the booming business in commercial and retail banking in the neighborhood.{{cite web|url=http://www.bukedde.co.ug/news/73635-abagagga-bazinzeeko-akabuga-ka-ndeeba.html|title=Abagagga Bazinzeeko Akabuga ka Ndeeba (Luganda): Translation - "The Wealthy Dominate Ndeeba Township"|first=Eria|last=Luyimbazi|date=21 August 2013|publisher=Bukedde Newspaper Online|access-date=23 June 2014}} Behind the thriving business environment along the main road, lies a sprawling slum with all the challenges that come with crowded, poor, urban living.{{cite web|first=Emma|last= Ikwap|url=http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/HomesandProperty/Ndeeba--where-crime-threats-developement/-/689858/2015448/-/a5l265z/-/index.html|title=Ndeeba; Where Crime Threatens Development|date=2 October 2013|access-date=23 June 2014|publisher=Daily Monitor}}
