Country Profile

Uganda is a fascinating country, with a complicated history far too often involving bloodshed, violence and betrayal. Yet the people are among the most welcoming and determined to be helpful that you could meet anywhere.

Strong moral and religious beliefs abound, with God - in which ever form you believe - seemingly part of most people's lives. Old tribal and regional ties are still clear in many places, but there is an over riding sense of being Ugandan, and having weathered the past as a nation sometimes divided but always pulling through as a united people.
