A woman, whose work is to sweep a section of one of the main streets in Hoima, Uganda, goes about her work

A woman, whose work is to sweep a section of one of the main streets in Hoima town, Uganda, goes about her work, April 27, 2015. Before the discovery of large amounts of oil in Lake Albert, Hoima was a forlorn and remote town in Western Uganda, whose main sources of income were farming and the trickle of tourists heading to nearby national parks. A decade later, an oil-fueled boom is transforming the town nearest the lake, with smart new office blocks and hotels drawing scores of new businesses and people from engineers to prostitutes to bankers. But with the east African nation yet to pump a single drop of oil, this rapid development may be premature. Oil executives say production will start in 2018 at the earliest.
