About Uganda
Map of Uganda

The culture of Uganda is made up of a diverse range of ethnic groups. Lake Kyoga forms the northern boundary for the Bantu-speaking peoples, who dominate much of east, central and southern Africa. In Uganda they include the Baganda and several other tribes. In the north live the Lango and the Acholi, who speak Nilotic languages. To the east are the Iteso and Karamojong, who speak a Nilotic language. A few Pygmies live isolated in the rainforests of western Uganda.

About UCABC

The Uganda Cultural Association of British Columbia is a Non-Profit Non Partisan Organization that was registered in March 2006 as a non-profit organization and incorporated in the Province of BC on March 14th, 2007.
