Welcome to the Kuanzia Trust
Kuanzia Trust was established to help local people in East Africa to bring about change in their lives and the lives of those around them.
We can use what, in Western terms, are relatively small amounts of money to invest in projects that will change many lives.
We are a small organisation with no administration costs channelling gifts directly to proven and effective projects which make a significant difference to the lives of poorer people in Uganda.
The projects are visited regularly to monitor progress and offer expertise to make them stronger.

Kuanzia Trust was established to do just that by a small group of people who have visited East Africa regularly over the past 20 years and wanted to help local people themselves to bring about change.We can use what, in Western terms, are relatively small amounts of money to invest in projects that will change many lives.
We select schemes that, at least in part, are able to become self-sustaining, rather than continually reliant on outside funding. Each project comes from a local vision and is led on the ground by nationals known personally to the Kuanzia trustees, through accredited local NGOs.
