Who we are
Background and Problem Statement.
Friends of Uganda (FOU) was established in response to the growing need for a unified platform that promotes peace, national pride, civic responsibility, and social cohesion across Uganda. The movement was inspired by the belief that Uganda’s strength lies in its diversity and that citizens, regardless of tribe, region, political affiliation, or social status, share a collective duty to safeguard and develop the nation.
Over time, FOU evolved into a structured, people-centred initiative championing unity, dialogue, and community-driven transformation.

Civic Responsibility
Encouraging every Ugandan to actively participate in safeguarding public resources, social cohesion, and national institutions.
Why Choose us
Problem Statement.
Despite Uganda’s vast natural wealth, cultural richness, and human potential, several persistent issues continue to hinder national unity and development. These include:
- Increasing polarisation along political, tribal, and socio-economic lines
- Limited youth engagement in national development processes
- High levels of misinformation and disinformation
- Community-level conflicts driven by a lack of dialogue platforms
- Weak civic awareness and limited participation in peacebuilding
FOU seeks to address these gaps by promoting unity-driven engagements and empowering citizens to work together toward a peaceful and prosperous Uganda.
Our Vision
A united, peaceful, and prosperous Uganda where citizens collectively safeguard the nation’s destiny, prioritising national interest above political cycles, personal ambition, and partisan divisions.
Our Mission
To promote a culture of peace, active tolerance, and patriotic responsibility among all Ugandans through advocacy, civic education, inclusive dialogue, grassroots mobilisation, and citizen-led national preservation initiatives.
Organisational Philosophy
FOU’s philosophy is grounded in the belief that peace is not an event but a culture, and that this culture must be nurtured deliberately through the daily actions of citizens.
Our Goal
To promote sustainable peace, unity, and national preservation in Uganda by reducing political division, countering harmful rhetoric, fostering cross-community dialogue, and empowering citizens as active custodians of national cohesion before, during, and beyond election cycles.
