Yes, this is true:
Equator runs through the northern part of Lake Victoria (which is on the border between Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania). Specifically, it passes through some islands (the Ssese Islands, some of which are inhabited) on Lake Victoria that belong to Uganda.
Even though it is slums we are talking about, and we know how terrible the conditions are, still there's always some surprises (negative ones unfortunately). Specifically in Mumbai, it is surprising that big portion of the people living in the slums do not have access to city services, they do not have enough water even thought the city itself is surrounded by water, more then half of the population of Mumbai lives in slums (around 55%), most of the residents do not have toilets and have to pay for public toilets...
