Kween

Shaped by the eastern slopes of Mount Elgon, Kween has developed into a predominantly rural highland district of eastern Uganda. Created in 2010 from Kapchorwa District, it belongs to the Elgon region, where cultivated fields and settlements occupy a cooler upland setting beneath the mountain. Mount Elgon National Park protects part of this extinct volcanic massif, whose slopes extend across the Uganda–Kenya border. Kween is associated with the Sebei people and the Kupsabiny language; farming remains central to daily life, with coffee among the important crops grown on Uganda’s Mount Elgon slopes.
