It is bordered to the east by Kenya, to the north by South Sudan, to the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to the southwest by Rwanda and to the south by Tanzania. Uganda is the second most populous landlocked country on the African continent. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, shared with Kenya and Tanzania, placing the country in the African Great Lakes region. Uganda also lies within the Nile basin and has a varied climate, but generally a savannah climate.
Uganda has a reputation as one of the most Christianized countries in Africa. Many churches or organizations choose it as a destination for short-term trips and missionary projects due to its ease of access and welcoming environment.

Uganda faces social injustices such as pollution, urban poverty, overcrowding, traffic, land conflicts, unemployment, and high crime rates.
