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.

 

With our help they have the opportunity to break the poverty cycle and change their future. 

 

The Trust works with them on projects covering healthcare, access to safe drinking water, safe sanitation, sustainable farming, education and training as well as providing technical assistance where that expertise is not available locally.
