The place of interest that I would like
to learn more about is Uganda, Africa. I am going to Uganda this summer so I
felt it fit for this assignment. Uganda is a thriving nation that has
substantial natural resources that helps to build its economy. However, it has
several environmental issues that have yet to be completely tackled such as
sanitation and water. According to cia.gov only 72 % of the populations
in improved areas have
access to a drinking water source and 34% have access to sanitation facilities.
Where only 28% of the unimproved areas have access to a drinking water
source and 66% have access to sanitation facilities which is a huge issue.
Africa is the largest nation in the world yet, it is stricken with some many
issues and I think it’s important for me as a person and global health major to
know and understand why.
