Uganda is a beautiful country in Sub-Saharan Africa. The magnificent Nile River flows from Uganda northward through Sudan and Egypt. Lake Victoria, the world’s largest natural lake, makes up much of the southeastern border of this country. Uganda borders Kenya to the east, Rwanda and Tanzania to the south, Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, and Sudan to the North. Helping Hands Uganda is based in the eastern part of Uganda, near the Kenya border, in the districts of Busia and Bugiri. The Village of Eden is west of Busia in the little bush village of Namuwombi.
