Mukono, Uganda

Located just north of Lake Victoria, this town of 50,000 is at the heart of the wealthy district of Mukono. With a close proximity to the country’s capital and the international airport, Mukono town is used as a center for business and essential goods and services. Along with wholesale and retail businesses, agriculture is the other major economic activity, which includes the production of coffee, tea, vanilla, sugar and bananas. The population of the town of Mukono is typical of Africa, with just under half of its people below the age of 18. There are over 1 million children in Uganda who have been orphaned by AIDS; our goal is to provide numerous opportunities for community transformation by working alongside Noah’s Ark Children’s Ministry.
