In Uganda’s Kasese district, Indigenous women are reviving floodplains with native trees and traditional knowledge
In recent years, torrents of muddy water have torn through villages in Uganda’s Kasese district sweeping away homes, bridges, and farmland, uprooting entire communities. Kasese’s floods are a mirror of a nation caught between extreme weather events, struggling to adapt with scarce resources. Now, frontline communities living at the foothills of the Rwenzori are turning to Indigenous knowledge in order to adapt to and mitigate recurring climate-induced floods.
