Uganda 2008: Morning Devotions

UGANDA

Located on the equator in East Africa, the Republic of Uganda is a small, landlocked country bordered by Sudan, Kenya, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Tanzania. The landscape features fl at highlands throughout most of the country, with a lush river valley in the northeast. Four large lakes highlight Uganda’s topography: Lake Edward and Lake Albert, both along the western border with the DRC, Lake Kyoga, located in the center of the country, and the majestic Lake Victoria, the world’s fourth largest lake, which dominates the southeastern border with Tanzania. The Nile, one of the longest rivers in the world, has its origins in Lake Victoria. Natural resources include copper, cobalt, hydropower, limestone, and salt.

WORLD VISION IN UGANDA

World Vision is committed to partnering with the people of Uganda to enhance their lives today and to help enact sustainable solutions for the future of their communities, families, and children. Currently, 150,752 children are registered in the World Vision sponsorship program. Several times this number of children and other family members benefit from World Vision activities. Of these registered children, many have World Vision sponsors in other countries. U.S. donors sponsor more than 40,000 girls and boys. In addition, World Vision operates 50 development programs, 13 of which are supported by U.S. donors.
