Why Uganda?

From http://gulfindustrials.com.au/?page_id=90

Good investment opportunity for mineral wealth – Uganda presents a good investment opportunity in terms of mineral wealth due mainly to three reasons: lack of investment in the past has left most of Uganda under explored leaving large areas of virgin ground untouched; the diversity of Uganda’s geology presents the opportunity for a wide range of possible metallic and non-metallic deposits to be developed; and due to active steps taken recently by the Uganda Government to encourage investment in the country’s mineral sector.

Uganda has a well developed road and rail network connecting it to all surrounding countries, most importantly to the Indian Ocean ports of Mombasa in Kenya and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. The country has a pleasant climate despite its equatorial position largely due to its overall higher altitude. Uganda also received adequate annual rain fall for all its needs.

According to the census of 2002 the population of Uganda was just over 24 million people of which 84% were Christians. School in Uganda is free, and Uganda has one of the highest attendance rates in Africa with over 70% of all children attending classes.
