How We Started
KIRUCODO was born in Kikandwa Village, Mukono District, in response to widespread social and economic challenges such as:
Low literacy rates
High unemployment
Poor hygiene and sanitation
Lack of healthcare access
Abuse of women’s and children’s rights
The organization began in 2000 as a small community group running Small Income Generating Activities (SIGAs) to survive day by day. By February 2006, the group decided to register as a local NGO, and by November 8, 2006, it received formal recognition from the Uganda NGO Board. On July 9, 2009, KIRUCODO was officially incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee.
KIRUCODO mission to empower rural communities in Uganda thrives because of partnerships with individuals and organizations like you. Whether through donations, volunteering, or corporate sponsorship, you can be part of this transformation.
