Diaspora

DIASPORA VILLAGE: Shares the face of Akright City together with the Executive Village. While on Entebbe Road moving towards Entebbe International Airport, on your right, one cannot miss the eye-catching magnificent residential houses of Diaspora, in a prime location at the hill!.

As one enters the city through the main gate, Diaspora Village straddles the hill on the right.  True to its name “DIASPORA” most of its inhabitants actually live in the diaspora (outside the country).  The village boasts of its stunning views of Kampala City, Lake Victoria, Kajjansi Air strip, Entebbe-Kampala Express way, Entebbe-Munyonyo bypass, and Entebbe Road.  The following roads make up the village: Akright Road, Church Road, Markhamia Crescent, Molucana Crescent and Hill Lane. Two land mark institutions boarder the village: St Padero Pio Catholic Church, Kaburamuliro and Elite School of Science and Technology.

Dr Katureebe Charles is the current village chairperson 2026.   The village has had 3 chairpersons previously, namely: Rtn Habert Muhumuza 2018-2020; Mr Julius Byaruhanga 2021; Ms Peace Asubo 2022, 2023; and Mrs Anna Sekatawa 2024, 2025.

The 2026 Plan:

The following are proposed activities/projects:

·       Drainage system: (map storm water passages, engage and sensitize plot owners and construct some drainage channels)

·       Security: Street lighting and Bush clearing

·       Road maintenance

·       Gate numbering and signages

·       Community engagements (Get to know each other/social events)

Anticipated source of funding: 70% remittances from annual subscriptions and fundraising drives. We hope to have a strong village committee made up of street/road representatives and a coordinator of the “Diaspora” community.

Message from the chairperson

During my tenure, I hope to be a resourceful member of the council, putting the interests of Diaspora Village first (My Street, My Village, My City).  I will encourage and support the principles of Accountability, Transparency, Inclusiveness, Team Work and Community Engagement. I encourage ACRA to prioritize community mobilization and engagement so that everybody is brought at the table, living-no-one behind.
