Sirigu is a culturally rich town in Ghana's Upper East Region, about 800 km from Accra. Known for its unique basketry, pottery, traditional architecture, and intricate wall paintings, the town traces its ancestry to Zecco in present-day Burkina Faso. Sirigu is composed of five major communities, Nyangolingo, Gunwoko, Basengo, Wugingo, and Bugsongo—each descended from one of the five sons of the founding ancestor, Azuko. The town has a central market serving its people and neighboring communities, including some in Burkina Faso. Traditional leadership is headed by an overlord from Gunwoko, supported by divisional chiefs. Sirigu's development is significantly influenced by the Catholic Church, which established the first primary school (St. Alex) in 1957 and later founded the Mother of Mercy Babies Home and the Matyrs of Uganda Health Centre, the community’s major health facility.
