Children are only tomorrow’s future if they are safe

Last week, my joy was rather short lived when I read somewhere in the newspapers that an 11-year-old child had drowned in River Nyabarongo in Muhanga district. The river has actually claimed two lives in a space of just two weeks. I also heard some reports of a child who was swept away by flood waters in Nyacyonga just the other day. A week ago while in Kampala, a school child was also swept to her death by flood waters after a heavy downpour in the city. And we should not forget that last month four children drowned in River Nyabarongo. Even the recent fire disaster in Nairobi claimed so many young children.
