Elizabeth Zaale for sharing a list of victims in Bududa
hospital who were pulled out of the mudslides and
needed our help the most.
Many organizations in the area where looking at staying
for three months. The government was hoping to find a
safer place to relocated people in camps but not everyone
was buying this idea. Many people still remain in the
danger zone hoping to find the remains of their loved
ones. Others whose homes were not swept away can’t
imagine staying in camps and abandoning their animals
in the hills. In both Bulucheke and Bukalasi camp, there’s
so much idleness as residents did not have activities to
do. Despite the camp shortcomings, the government,
Bududa district leaders and many organizations had done
a great job in assisting people affected by this disaster.
Bulucheke camp is especially well organized. There’s still
need to improve on sanitation and NAMCA can still play a
role in this area.
tomorrow, tree planting has to happen sooner just to
cover the naked hills. It’s not an immediate solution, but a
good start. Please continue to pray for people affected by
this tragedy.
Thank you all.

to help. The newly established Bamasaba group:
Association for Development Of Bamasaba (ADOB),

Kamoti were focused on this idea too.

stand bare with little or no trees. It rains so much up there
and the possibility of more landslides is real. There is
a significant crack on Anmisindwa Hill in Butoto that hs
many worried of what may happen next. As we focus on
