Welcome to Community Uganda Travel
Responsible Travel in Uganda
Our Community Initiatives
Responsible community travel in Uganda, our community initiatives are directed primarily towards the responsibility of giving Ugandan communities a hand-up through travel. We help communities in rural Uganda establish brick-wall classrooms for their schools thus creating a quality environment that helps enhance better quality education provided to the students. The Ugandan population is presently estimated at 31 million people. Of this, over 60% are below the age of 18 and school-going. Universal Primary Education(UPE) a government program that allows free education for all elementary school going children has seen an immense response that has led to overcrowding of schools and eminent shortage of infrastructure and scholastic materials, some children hold their classes under Mango trees- a good gesture but not very weather-friendly.
