Uganda is home to some of the highest risk Landslide / Mudslide and flooding Hotspots in Mount Elgon sub region (Eastern Uganda), Teso sub region, and Rwenzori region / Western Uganda often with heavy rains that trigger deadly mudslides and floods in regions, killing and displacing thousands with over 2.3 Million people affected since 2020, and destroying homes, roads, crops, critical infrastructure, and water sources. This fund will support urgent aid and long-term recovery in affected regions.
