Tororo District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tororo is a district in eastern Uganda. Like other Ugandan districts, it is named after its "chief town", Tororo. It is home to the Sukulu complex, a carbonatite complex 6 km east of Tororo town, which is known for its apatite, baddeleyite, dolomite, goethite, hematite, Ilmenite, magnetite, pyrochlore, quartz, shortite, and zircon.^[1]

Tororo District is also home to Uganda Orphans Rural Development Program (UORDP), which was founded in 1998 to "promote and support the health, nutrition, income and educational status of orphaned children, their caregivers, widows and widowers and other marginalized groups especially women affected and infected with HIV/AIDS."^[2]
