Are the Taps Dry?
When the River Rises
Flood preparedness as Kasese lives it: how warnings travel, what the district advises, where people shelter, and where the river works stand — with sources and dates.
Catching the Rain
How much rain a Kasese roof could catch in a typical year, how many jerrycans of bought water that stands in for, and how long it would last a household when the taps go dry. An estimate — and never drinking water untreated.
Where to Get Treated
The health facilities near you, what level of care each gives, and whether it is government, mission or private — on a map and by area, after the Kilembe hospital closure.
Rwenzori Trek: Fees & Fair Pay
What it really costs to trek the Rwenzori — the park fees by who you are (a Ugandan or East African citizen pays far less than a foreign visitor), the crew's published pay, and the two community operators — so you can plan a fair trek and make sure the local porters, guides and cooks are paid properly.
Common Questions
Water supply, health care after the Kilembe hospital closure, the mine and cement plant, markets, the border and the equator — answered plainly, with sources and dates.
Who to Call
Radio stations first — warnings travel by radio here — then verified emergency numbers, the council, health care and the wildlife authority.
