We were established after ‘olwekobhano’, a community reflection held on a hot Saturday on 7th August 2010 and attended by 67 people from Kabukye village.

The olwekobhano painted a gloomy picture of loss of hope, blighting poverty, and neglect and abuse of children the village was enduring.

Kabukye Trust got its name from the village where the olwekobhano was held.

Found in Kamuli district, in Uganda, Kabukye is also where our founder Allan Kiwanuka grew up. Kabukye translates from Lusoga as “let it dawn”.

This was pertinent as the olwekobhano reflections demand a fresh start, just as new dawn as kabukye promises.
