On a hot Saturday in August 2010, 67 people gathered in Kabukye village for an olwekobhano — a community reflection. They were blunt. Children were being neglected. Poverty was deepening. Hope was running out.
That conversation became a charity. Allan Kiwanuka, Dr David Kazungu and Mandy Luweire — all who grew up in Kabukye — led the founding. The village is in Kamuli district, in the Busoga sub-region of eastern Uganda. It gave the Trust its name.
Kabukye means "let it dawn" in Lusoga. The olwekobhano demanded a fresh start — a new dawn.
