Our Mission:

Empower.

Kibo is not your average nonprofit. We are an international network of friends with a radical vision: To empower every community in the Busoga region of Uganda to holistically and sustainably transform.

Check out our staff sharing about the work Kibo is doing in the video below!

Holistic

We try our best to have a comprehensive understanding of poverty and wealth. We think it’s important to pay attention to the physical, social, and spiritual dimensions of both human suffering and community flourishing.

Asset-Based

We assume each community has abundant cultural, intellectual, and material assets, even if often unrecognized and underdeveloped. Kibo equips communities to identify and mobilize those existing assets in creative ways.

Sustainable

We pursue progress through long-term cultural participation, education, and reconciliation efforts that produce lasting and locally maintainable results. Our goal is always to phase out and have the community take over.

 
 

Our Impact

Kibo’s work spans far beyond impressive numbers on a spreadsheet (which we have). Our total impact is more difficult to quantify. It is rooted in community change, in families being repaired, in generational wounds being broken, in relationships being restored.
