 📌Title: How I Survive Kampala Hustle Life with Just 1K a Day

By Hanny Love | Hustle Life UG



If you're reading this, you probably know what it feels like to wake up with only 1,000 UGX in your pocket. Life in Kampala is not for the soft-hearted, but somehow, we keep moving.


My name is Hanny, and I’m here to tell real stories, share practical hustle tips, and shine a light on how we survive—and sometimes thrive—on these streets 

    🛵Daily Life on a Tight Budget

Every day, I start with just 1K. Sounds impossible? Not really—if you hustle smart.


  • Breakfast? Mandazi or Rolex – 1K or less
  • Transport? I walk or only use boda when I have to
  • Data? Airtel’s 1K daily bundle keeps me online, searching and earning


Believe it or not, with just a smartphone and internet, I’ve earned through voice-overs, Canvas design gigs, and even small crypto referrals. The key is knowing where to look.

   🍲Food That Fills the Hustle

There’s a spot in Rubaga that serves katogo like no other. For just 2K, I eat like a queen.

These small food finds matter when you’re budgeting every shilling.

  💡The Realest Truth?

Surviving in Kampala takes more than luck. It takes creativity, street smarts, and the courage to keep going—even when you’re broke.


That’s what Hustle Life UG is all about:

Ugandan hustle stories. Cheap eats. Smart survival. Real talk.

Stick around for weekly posts on how to earn online, street food reviews, hustle ideas, and motivation for when things get tough.

We’re in this together. 💪🏾
