About us

Twekembe Association Centre for Rural Systems and Development (T.A-CRUSADE-UGANDA) is a Non Governmental Organization, established in 2003 and incorporated in 2009 as a not for profit organization working amongst the most needy persons in our communities to change difficult situations into opportunities that improve their living standards and welfare to become responsible citizens and break away from the pangs of poverty by empowering them. (Formerly known as Twekembe Association)

The Mission of T.A.-CRUSADE-UGANDA is to improve community welfare capacities by raising the level of individual, group and institutional participation through empowerment in various social, economic and cultural activities, employing life skills and vocational training as tools. It seeks to invest in the marginalized, poor and unproductive members of the communities who need to raise their living standards but lack resources, means and opportunities to do so. Because of its mandate children and women are key beneficiaries of most T.A CRUSADE-UGANDA projects and programmes, as well as disadvantaged youth.
