Society
There are three primary schools in the villages that make up Bulamba parish with about 400 pupils in each.
Villagers cook using firewood or charcoal. People walk between 3 and 5 km for firewood. Finding safe water
is a problem and the villagers get water from Lake Victoria, it is women and older children who collect
the water for the family.
Villagers normally eat twice a day, at 12.00 am and at 7.00 pm. The usual meal is stiff dough
like mixture prepared from maize or millet flour served with stew made of beans or vegetables
, and on special occasion's fish, chicken or beef.
Villagers live in extended families, usually in small communities in family compounds. Houses vary in size and style and are constructed out of mud blocks or tree poles, covered with mud and the roofs thatched with grass and some are constructed out of fired clay bricks with corrugated sheeting.
