Company Description
In the prominent language families of Uganda, Bantu and Nilotic, the words “kimanya” and “ngeyo” hold similar meanings—knowledge, understanding, enlightenment. As its name suggests, Kimanya-Ngeyo Foundation holds the firm conviction that access to knowledge is at the heart of development. The organization thus strives to empower local populations, especially youth, to assume ownership of, and engage meaningfully in, the process of applying, generating, systematizing, and disseminating knowledge. More specifically, a knowledge that benefits from the latest advances in modern science while respecting and tapping into local knowledge, one that is relevant to local realities and embedded in practice, and which responds to the true aspirations of rural and peri-urban communities for prosperity and progress.
