Rising from the Floods: Rebuilding Along River Nyamwamba

The River Nyamwamba used to be a source of life. But in recent years, fueled by extreme weather and upstream deforestation, it has violently breached its banks, sweeping away homes, bridges, and hospitals in Kasese. The trauma of these floods is profound. In response, our community task forces have planted thousands of deep-rooted bamboo and indigenous trees along the fragile riverbanks to stabilize the soil and slow the raging waters during the heavy rains.
