In rural areas, the nearest school is hours away on foot. There has been compulsory education since 1997, which entitles every resident to 7 years of education, exempt from school fees. The problem, however, is that most schools are not able to provide a solid education. The reason for this is that a \nlarge proportion of teachers are not adequately trained and are also poorly or irregularly paid. Due to the lack of money, there are often no resources for the students. Primary school is 7 years, middle school 4 years and high school 2 years. Fundamental problems of the school system are, on the one hand, very high numbers of students of 80-120 students per class per grade, as well as the often poor condition of the school buildings. Only about 62% of children complete primary school.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-727c022 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"727c022\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cef45de\" data-id=\"cef45de\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-275fb1b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"275fb1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-clinic-medical\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e0277f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4e0277f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">MEDICINE<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0a35dac\" data-id=\"0a35dac\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6d8940 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b6d8940\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Health is an established human right, but as in many other African countries, medical care in Uganda is very poor. Due to a lack of skilled workers and state-run services, healthcare is in no way adequate. Often, required medicines are not available and patients have to travel a very long way. This results in diseases, epidemics and many deaths. The main causes of death in Uganda are HIV\/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, respiratory and diarrhoeal diseases. There are not enough hospital wards or there is not enough capacity for the number of patients. Uganda's health system is structured like a pyramid and is divided into different levels according to the severity of the disease.

About 7 million Ugandans have no access to clean water. A quarter of Uganda's population gets its drinking water from unsafe water sources. In 2012, a total of 10% of Uganda's population obtained their drinking water from surface water, i.e. from rivers, lakes or ponds. The Karamoja and Yube regions are severely affected by poverty and inaccessible water supplies. In the sanitation sector, the figure is also worrying, with just one third of the population having access to improved sanitation facilities. For disadvantaged population groups, the health consequences of inadequate water security are particularly devastating, making children in particular the ones to suffer. Overall, despite the large water resources in Uganda, water access is not satisfactory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7c86912 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7c86912\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e594a9f\" data-id=\"e594a9f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff0393f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"ff0393f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-utensils\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-168fef5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"168fef5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">nutrition<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-175e02d\" data-id=\"175e02d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5357c59 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5357c59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUganda is the land of cereals and vegetables.

With an area of about 68,800 km\u00b2, Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. Uganda is a landlocked country located in the East African highlands, with altitudes ranging from around 1,000 to 1,500 metres. Twenty percent of the country's area, which corresponds to about 44,000 km\u00b2, is occupied by inland waters in the form of large lakes. Lake Kyoga is in the centre and Lake Victoria in the south of the country. In addition, parts of Lake Albert and Lake Edward lie in Uganda. The Victoria Nile is Uganda's most important river, rising from Lake Victoria near Jinja. It connects Lake Albert, Lake Kyoga and Lake Victoria.<\/p><p>In the southwest of Uganda lie the Virunga volcanoes, which are still active. The country has a rather tropical-warm climate, which is, however, moderated by the high altitudes. It therefore cools down \nconsiderably in the evening and at night. During the day, temperatures fluctuate between 25 and 30\u00b0C, at night it is usually around 15\u00b0C. The months of June to September and December to February are the driest. Heavy rainfall should be expected between March and May, but increased rainfall is also more frequent in October and November.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4d2e10c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4d2e10c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7f29a0b\" data-id=\"7f29a0b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-69ac7bd\" data-id=\"69ac7bd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e57b9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0e57b9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">WHAT THREATENS THE PEOPLE OF UGANDA?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6877006 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6877006\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUganda\u2019s population is very severely affected by the immunodeficiency Aids.

On 9th October, Uganda formed a republic and the office of Governor General was abolished and replaced by the representative President. King Mutesa II of Buganda became the first President and Milton Oboe became the first Prime Minister of the new state of Uganda.<\/p><p>As early as 1966, Oboe ousted the President and introduced a one-party system and \u201cAfrican socialism\u201d through a bloody massacre. In 1971, General Idi Amin Dada used the population's dwindling support for Oboe to stage a military coup. Conditions under his dictatorship became even worse. He held on to power until 1979 through terror and mass murder.<\/p><p>In 1978, a violation into Tanzania triggered a counterattack involving rebel units of Uganda. In 1980, elections brought Milton Oboe back to power. He had political opponents murdered, persecuted ethnic groups and ruled with terror and torture. Museveni waged a guerrilla war with his National Resistance Army (NRA) that brought him to power in 1986. Through him, the monarchy was re-established in Buganda, which however has more of a symbolic character.<\/p><p>In 1994, a constituent assembly was elected, but the registration of political parties was also restricted. Ugandans voted in favour of the introduction of a multi-party system in a referendum in 2005. In the same year, the Parliament decided to lift the presidential term limit. In February 2006, the first parliamentary and presidential elections since 1980 were held. President Museveni was elected for another 5 years in office.<\/p><p>On 18th February 2011, new elections were held. The opposition parties entered seven presidential candidates in the race. The election result confirmed incumbent Museveni in office with a two-thirds majority. The overall turnout was 59%. The last elections were held in February 2016, in which Museveni won the election with 60.75%.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a6301b1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a6301b1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-938bc1f\" data-id=\"938bc1f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a638de7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a638de7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.the-helping-people.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Oekonomie-pjvbyrn2jvlvi609draddt0ornirrssipdfngl8mog.png\" title=\"Economics\" alt=\"Economics\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8daaf35\" data-id=\"8daaf35\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-342148d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"342148d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Economics<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-452eee3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"452eee3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The East African country of Uganda is considered one of the most stable states on the continent. After the collapse in the 1970s and 1980s, the economy was able to recover and generate growth rates. Reasons for economic success are, for example, the regular rainfall, fertile soils and rich mineral resources.<\/p><p>Uganda is an agricultural country and about 80% of the population lives from agriculture. 31.5% of \nthe country's land is used as arable land, with maize, millet, plantains, cassava and pulses predominantly grown for the domestic market. Pasture land accounts for 25% and forest for 29.6% of the land area. The cultivation of tea, coffee, cotton and tobacco accounts for 80% of export earnings. Inland fishing is also of great importance for the domestic market, as well as for exports. Forestry focuses on felling tropical woods, predominantly mahogany.<\/p><p>The industrial sector, on the other hand, is very weakly developed. Only small amounts of gold and copper ore are mined. Uganda's main industries are tobacco processing, food, wood, textile, building material and metal production. Kenya, Germany and Great Britain are the main trading partners.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-88f982a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"88f982a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f4d492e\" data-id=\"f4d492e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79ba907 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79ba907\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sources:<\/p><p>biovision.
