Uganda
Uganda’s unique beauty makes it known as ‘The Pearl of Africa’ and the number one adventure safari destination. It is home to half of the world’s famous gorillas and Africa’s largest lake – Lake Victoria. Over 49 million people live in Uganda and 41 percent of them are below the poverty line. The country also hosts the largest refugee population on the continent as more than a million asylum seekers have fled into Uganda.
LIA – Uganda (locally known as Love in Action) international has been engaged in wholistic transformation development programs since 2017. We were formerly registered in 2020. We focus on impact, multiplication, and sustainability.
