GO Job - Teach in Uganda @ Global Theological Seminary

Uganda, officially the Republic of Uganda, is a landlocked country in East Africa. The country is bordered to the East by Kenya, to the North by South Sudan, to the West by the Democratic Republic of Congo, to the South-West by Rwanda, and to the South by Tanzania and Lake Victoria. As of 2023, it had a population of around 49.6 million, of which 8.5 million live in the capital city of Kampala. The Equator runs through the Southern part of Uganda. Uganda is known for its National Parks and beautiful climate. Winston Churchill called Uganda, "The Pearl of Africa." Global Theological Seminary overlooks part of Lake Victoria and is located just outside of Jinja where The River Nile begins its journey north to the Mediterranean through Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan, and Egypt. Jinja is known as "The Adventure Capital of East Africa."
