}}Sonde, also Ssonde, is a settlement in Mukono District, in Uganda's Central Region.[1]

Location

Sonde lies in Misindye Parish, Goma Sub-county, Mukono District, approximately {{convert|17|km|0}}, northeast of Kampala, Uganda's capital city.[1][2]

Sonde is bordered by Nabusugwe to the north, Bukeerere to the east, Namanve to the south and Namugongo to the west. Its geographical coordinates are:0°23'42.0"N, 32°41'12.0"E (Latitude:0.395000; Longitude:32.686667).[3]

Overview

Previously regarded as "remote", the village began to receive new settlers, following the end of the Ugandan Bush War (1981 - 1986).[1]

In the 2000s, the area has become popular with developers of residential housing estates. The developers buy large chunks of land, subdivide them and build individual houses for sale.[1] The popularity of Sonde increased in popularity when National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) extended its services to the area, circa 2012.[1]

In 2016, the road between Namugongo to the west and Seeta to the east as tarmacked, easing transportation and reducing the dusty environment.[1]
