Kabubbu is an impoverished rural village in Uganda, where the people are isolated from the information they need to develop. At the beginning of 2002 Kabubbu was without clean water, a school, a health clinic, electricity, communications and transport. Meagre community resources were overwhelmed by AIDS orphans, which make up 10% of the 6000 people living in Kabubbu.  The people felt hopeless and regarded themselves as the 'forgotten people'.

In 1999 The Quicken Trust visited Kabubbu and were motivated to tell the story of these people in the UK.  Since then many people have donated money through the Quicken Trust who have worked, in partnership, with the Kabubbu Development Project to provide clean water, a health clinic, a school and sponsored education for orphans.  Quality craft products made in Kabubbu have been sold in the UK to raise money which is used to start agricultural co-operatives to enable the people to improve their nutrition.

The Kabubbu Development Project is a registered Non Governmental Organisation in Uganda  (Registration number: S.5914/3602).

The Quicken Trust is a registered charity in the UK (Charity number: 1058747).
