Kaleerwe is a neighborhood within Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. Kaleerwe is a busy road-side marketplace, beyond which is a residential slum. Due to its relative low altitude, compared to the surrounding hills, and its proximity to a wetland, the area is prone to flooding. Kaleerwe merges with its immediate slum-neighborhood to the southwest, Bwaise. One may argue that Kaleerwe is part of Bwaise.

Location

Kaleerwe is bordered by Kawempe to the north, Kyebando to the east, Makerere to the south, Bwaise to the southwest and Kazo to the west. It sandwiched between the Kampala-Masindi Highway to the west, the Kampala-Gayaza Highway to the east, the Kampala Northern Bypass Highway to the south. This location lies approximately 6 km, by road, north of Kampala's central business district.{{cite web| url=http://distancecalculator.globefeed.com/Uganda_Distance_Result.asp?fromplace=Kampala%20%28%29&toplace=Bwaise%20%28Western%20Province%29&fromlat=0.3155556&tolat=0.3508333&fromlng=32.5655556&tolng=32.5669444|title=Map Showing Kampala And Kaleerwe With Distance Marker|publisher=Globefeed.com|access-date=14 June 2014}} The coordinates of Kaleerwe are:0°21'07.0"N, 32°34'19.0"E (Latitude:0.351950; Longitude:32.571950).
