In an effort
to contribute to the welfare of people of Ntoroko, a team of CSOs namely RIC-NET,
RIDE-Africa, RWECO, KALI, and Good Hope Foundation for Rural Development set
out on the 11th November 2014 to reach out to the communities that
were severely affected by the floods early November. The team had
a meeting first with the District Vice chairman and the ACAO at the kibuuku
District headquarters where they were informed that the Disaster that hit the
area was caused by climatic changes, lack of channels for the water to flow
when river semliki is full to capacity, the team learnt that such a flood had
last hit in 1930s and as a result the communities had relaxed.
