October 2011 - struggling for Christmas present ideas? Why not sponsor a child? Contact us if you’d like a gift card to acknowledge your sponsor-ship.

October 2011  - we wish Tim Stock all the best for his stay in Ruboni - our eyes and ears on the ground for the next few months. If you would like to volunteer in Ruboni, please contact us.

June 2011 - we were delighted to receive a large anonymous donation. We have decided to expand the CSP to 40 children from January 2012 and to increase our sponsorship per child to meet recent inflation. We will support requests for short further education courses that are likely to lead to jobs.

May 2011 - a huge thanks to all those who generously sponsored our walk along the South Downs Way (from Eastbourne to Ditchling Beacon, 29.5 miles in one day). Any further donations can still be made at  www.justgiving.com/sarahlouis eemma

Welcome to the Rwenzori Trust!

The Rwenzori Trust is a UK-registered charity working with communities in the Rwenzori mountains area of Uganda. More information about the  charity’s aims and background can be found by clicking here.

The Rwenzori Mountains, also known as the Mountains of the Moon, are located in Western Uganda, bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the West. The Bakonjo people live in and around the southern foothills of the Rwenzoris. Outside the boundary of the Rwenzori Mountains National Park, the Bakonjo cultivate their crops, including bananas, cassava and beans, on the steep, fertile and verdant slopes. More information about the Rwenzori Mountains can be found by clicking here.
