We help seniors live a dignified life.
Our Mission
Kiboha Together is an organization focused on alleviating the worst living conditions of the elderly in Uganda. Our mission is to improve the lives of Seniors in Uganda, who currently live in chronic poverty, poor health, hunger, without adequate shelter and often are caregivers to their grandchildren who are HIV/AIDS orphans. These seniors struggle to obtain even the basics of necessities including food on a daily basis. Kiboha Together was started by Cecilia Nzabanita, an American Citizen, who was born in the village of Kiboha (which means "Tied Together") in Tooro, Western Uganda. Kiboha Together, Inc. is registered as a 501(c)3 in the United States.
