March Edition 2026: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Month
When the Rains Speak, We Listen
As March unfolds, the rhythm of the rains has returned with unmistakable presence—grey skies, steady downpours, and the daily dance of umbrellas across the city. But beyond the inconvenience lies a deeper reflection. This month, Rotary turns our focus to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), a theme that surrounds us not just in weather, but in reality.
At the Rotary Club of Kololo-Kampala, this is more than a seasonal observation. It is a call to recognise the stark contrast between water as a temporary inconvenience for some, and a daily struggle for many. This edition challenges us to reflect on that gap—and more importantly, to act.
