Our Programs

Kibo Group is a faith-inspired nonprofit organization that partners with East Africans to pursue local solutions for poverty and injustice to help communities flourish.

We exist in order to help people become healthy across every facet of life. Our international community of Ugandan and American staff, board members, thousands of people in Ugandan villages, and hundreds of donors work together to empower the rural communities of Busoga to thrive.

We accomplish our mission through six key programs:

 
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene WASH

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH)

Our WASH program cultivates dialogue with communities about sanitation and hygiene and helps them gain access to clean water. WASH empowers local leaders and builds relationships with and within communities to help members lift themselves out of unhealthy living conditions in sustainable ways.
