who We Are

The United Ugandans Association of Colorado (UUACO) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to uniting and empowering Ugandans and friends of Uganda living in Colorado. As a community-based association, UUACO exists to bring Colorado Ugandans together around shared heritage, values, and aspirations, while building bridges with the broader Colorado community. Rooted in a spirit of service, cultural pride, and collective responsibility, the organization provides a platform where Ugandans in Colorado can connect, support one another, and collaborate to make a positive impact both locally and back home in Uganda.
