About Uganda
Proudly known as “the Pearl of Africa,” Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa and home to approximately 30.9 million people. The country is known for its geographic beauty--from the peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains to the shores of Lake Victoria--and for its people, who are widely considered to be among the friendliest people of Africa.
Yet Uganda and its people have faced more than their fair share of problems. Grinding poverty has a steadfast hold on the country and civil war has gripped Northern Uganda for over twenty years. Meanwhile, Uganda’s youth struggle daily to obtain an education in schools that are often underfunded and overcrowded.
