Community Name & History
The name, Mugaa, was derived from the indigenous acacia tree. These trees survive in arid and semi-arid areas. People came from different forest areas and settled in this place. They cleared the forest and started farming.
Life & Culture
Mugaa is located in a hilly terrain. It is primarily a farming community, with the main crops being maize, beans and potatoes. In good seasons, there will be adequate rainfall to produce a good harvest. Community members also raise livestock for their livelihood.
Because of its topography, most people have to walk to access a large part of the community. It is difficult to use motorized vehicles across this community. Most families own donkeys to help their transport water, firewood and produce.
