HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN 2022 IDF:

Let us look at the example of Northern Kenya 2 years drought, its economic impact on society, kindly visit https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/11/17/we-will-all-die-in-kenya-prolonged-drought-takes-heavy-toll Locally we have witnessed Mother Nature responding badly in BUDUDA after tampering with forest cover in Mount Elgon, we have witnessed the same, in Kasese in Rwenzori Mountain, flooding around lake Albert.
