17 stunning photos from the week I spent traveling around Uganda

I recently spent a week in Uganda as a fellow of the UN Foundation, traveling around the country to visit clinics, meet with women and explore slum areas.

The country has huge patches of poverty, which are evident in the rural villages with huts and small homes, as well as the slums. But despite the hardships facing the country, Uganda is also incredibly beautiful.

Here are the 17 most stunning images I took during my trip.
