Uganda Wildlife Authority distributed 500 wool blankets to households displaced by landslides in the Sebei Sub-region while advocating for enhanced environmental protection measures to avert similar catastrophes. Commissioner Chemonges Sabila, heading the relief delegation, stated the donation aimed to ease suffering among survivors who had lost homes and possessions in the late October disaster that left numerous families without shelter across the Sebei highlands.
Officials stressed that preserving natural resources around the Mt. Elgon ecosystem could reduce landslide risks, urging residents to plant trees and adopt conservation practices for long-term protection. Kween County legislator William Chemonges welcomed the assistance and emphasized addressing environmental deterioration as essential for community safety.
The contribution supplements broader recovery initiatives coordinated by government departments and humanitarian organizations assisting affected communities in rebuilding their lives.
