SERERE DISTRICT

                            

Welcome to Serere District: KAWA Uganda's Support for Education in the Heart of Teso Region

Located in the eastern part of Uganda, Serere District is a vibrant area rich in culture, with economic activities deeply rooted in agriculture and fishing. 

Created by the Ugandan Parliament in 2010, this district shares borders with Soroti District to the north, Ngora District to the east, Pallisa, Kaliro, and Buyende Districts to the south, and Kaberamaido District to the west. 

Just 35 kilometers south of Soroti, Serere’s district headquarters bring the region’s communities together, fostering growth and opportunity.

Economic Life and Community Structure in Serere

Fishing, primarily undertaken by men, is a central pillar of the local economy. The rich waters of Lake Kyoga provide sustenance and income for many families, and the district’s economy is further supported by agriculture, which allows communities to thrive in a region with fertile lands.
