Filipinos in Uganda refers to the Filipino diaspora community living in the East African nation of Uganda. The community represents a small but significant portion of the broader Filipino overseas population, which comprises approximately 10 million people worldwide.[1]
As of 2012, the Filipino community in Uganda numbered approximately 600 individuals.[2] This population size places Uganda among the smaller Filipino diaspora communities globally, in contrast to countries like the United States (3.4 million), Saudi Arabia (1 million), and Canada (850,000).[1]
In 2012, the community was led by Divina Mikkelsen, who served as a focal point for organizing cultural events and addressing community concerns.[3]
