Breaking the Poverty Cycle
Kisoboka - It is possible
At The Kisoboka Trust our mission is to work with communities in Sub-Saharan Africa who are struggling through poverty to support their basic needs.
We empower local communities to take control of their future and build the change they want – by improving access to clean water and sanitation, strengthening education, and supporting financial independence.
