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]
Demographics
[edit]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]
Diplomatic representation
[edit]Filipino nationals in Uganda are served diplomatically by the consul through the Philippine Embassy in Kenya, as the Philippines does not maintain a separate diplomatic mission in Uganda. In 2025, the community was represented by Consul Marie Charlotte G. Tang, who is based in Kenya but provided consular services to Filipinos throughout the East African region.[4][5]
