Our Mission
The DMV Ugandan Westnilers Association, Inc. (DUWA) is dedicated to fostering community, culture, and development among individuals of Westnile descent residing in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and other states with North America and Canada. We strive to promote the rich cultural heritage of the Westnile region of Uganda, facilitate social and economic empowerment, and strengthen ties among our members while enhancing the well-being of our communities through various initiatives.
About Us
Founded by a group of passionate individuals committed to celebrating and uplifting the Westnile community in North America and in the homeland, DUWA serves as a vital hub for connecting Westnilers in the DMV area. Our association provides a platform for community engagement, advocacy, and collaboration with local organizations to promote sustainable development and cultural awareness.
We aim to preserve and celebrate the diverse traditions, languages, and practices of the Westnile region, fostering appreciation and understanding among all members.
We work to identify and address the needs of our community, providing resources and support for education, economic opportunity, health, and social well-being.
DUWA offers a network for professionals, businesses, and community members to connect, collaborate, and share opportunities for growth and development.
We advocate for the interests of the Westnile community at local, state, and national levels, ensuring our voices are heard in the policy-making process.
We invite all individuals with ties to the Westnile region, as well as allies interested in supporting our mission, to join us. Whether you want to attend our events, volunteer, or connect with like-minded individuals, there are many ways to get involved.
