Elderly Ugandan women exercise to fight diseases

A group of elderly women jog hand in hand across a field in eastern Uganda, laughing and cheering each other on as they swing cricket bats. They are part of a community fitness program aimed at tackling non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease, conditions that have become increasingly common in Uganda, especially among older women.
