Rural Human Development in Uganda still faces enormous challenges even amidst natural endowments and human resource Capital that have not been optimally utilized. A cross-section of people young and old continue to wake up each day in the quagmire of poverty, Ignorance and disease.

The Crown of Splendor Foundation (CSF) with an operational base in Bukomero – Kiboga a rural district in Central Uganda intends to avert the situation in the area by restoring socio-economic hope among the rural population who are engulfed in persistent absolute poverty situations that are a result of massive un-employment and under-employment

The lack of such a resource and information Centre curtails the efficient and effective dissemination and imparting of vital skills and knowledge to a wide cross-section of the population who are in dire need of it for self help sustainability in household incomes. It is against this background that Crown of Splendor Foundation is spearheading efforts to put in place a multi-purpose Community Human Development Resource Centre in Bukomero – Kiboga District.
