A Ugandan living abroad finds out the hard way that the fellow citizens he left behind have more wealth than her. Uganda is a rich country, the middle class is shaping up well. #SONA2026

The tourism sector has contributed significantly to poverty reduction through Jobs at all levels of the travel value chain and a fair share of foreign exchange earnings. #SONA2026 @MTWAUganda @ugwildlife @TourismBoardUg

Every 3rd June, Uganda welcomes thousands of Christians and tourists to Namugongo Catholic Shrine to remember, pray, comprehend and celebrate the lives of #Martyrs who chose death over relinquishing their faith. 2026 is different due to #Ebola outbreak. @uganda_martyrs

Despite #Ebola outbreak, Christians, Ugandans and Baganda in particular will still commemorate the day of the #Martyrs who gave up their lives for Christ at Namugongo. @GovUganda has guided us on how to safely hold prayers from each one's locality countrywide. @uganda_martyrs

Uganda is Kenya's number one market source only followed by the United States. This is why the tourism boards of both countries are working together to promote intra-tourism @jumuiya
