Ugandan Community in Saudi Arabia
Connecting Ugandans across the Kingdom, fostering unity, and promoting our rich culture while supporting development back home.
Who We Are
The Uganda Diaspora in Saudi Arabia is a vibrant community of Ugandan nationals living and working across the Kingdom. Established in 2010, we have grown to become one of the most active African diaspora groups in Saudi Arabia.
Our members come from all regions of Uganda and work in diverse sectors including healthcare, education, construction, and domestic services. Despite our different backgrounds, we are united by our Ugandan heritage and shared values.
We serve as a bridge between Uganda and Saudi Arabia, promoting cultural exchange, supporting our members in times of need, and contributing to development initiatives back home.

Member Stories
When I first arrived in Saudi Arabia, I felt completely alone. The Uganda Diaspora community welcomed me with open arms and helped me navigate my new environment. They've become my family away from home.
Through the diaspora's investment program, I was able to start a poultry farm back in Masaka. The guidance and connections provided were invaluable. I'm now planning to return home to manage it full-time.
The legal assistance I received when facing contract issues saved me from a terrible situation. I don't know what I would have done without the diaspora's support network.
Being part of the cultural exchange programs has allowed me to share our Ugandan heritage with Saudis and other nationalities. It's fulfilling to see people appreciate our traditions.
The skills development workshops helped me transition from domestic work to an office position. I've tripled my income and gained valuable experience for when I return to Uganda.
