We learned that most neighborhoods in Uganda's major cities and towns are served by the National Water and Sewerage Corp., a private entity owned by the Ugandan government. This Mbarara neighborhood had a communal water pipe delivering fairly clean water (although the NWSC recommends that residents boil it before drinking). Despite this supply, many people collect water from the natural sources nearby. This woman and child were at the river that ran at the bottom of the hill in the previous shot. The ubiquitous water-collecting jugs are visible behind them.
