Our Goals

We are building a home away from home for Ugandans in Detroit.
UCOM’s goal is to share Ugandan culture through food, art, music, drama, movies, fashion and design, books, festive events, and language.
We plan to secure an art and cultural center where we can share all these with the world. Our endeavor is to contribute positively to the community as a whole with no limitations.
