Rural life in the US and a lot of the west is extremely tied to car ownership. According to Wikipedia, Uganda has about 41 motor vehicles per 1000 people (in 2016) while the US has 850 (in 2022)
Rural life is designed extremely differently in places where the assumption is that you will always have a car and if your story has international reach a lot of your audience may need to be taught the difference between their rural and yours.
