2. Background
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

3. Problem Statement
Whereas Rural Community Human Development Initiatives need both verbal and non-
verbal communication techniques so as to bring about social-economic transformation,
Bukomero Village in Kiboga lacks a Human Development Resource Center from where
the population can acquire practical economic information and skills.
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.

4. Project Aim
The overall aim of the project is to provide a model center for equipping practical
entrepreneurial skills to the rural youth population for socio-economic transformation

5. Project Objectives
Be a coordination and reference
Centre of all community development
initiatives of Crown of Splendor
Foundation in Bukomero. The center
will as well provide a better and
modest office premises for CSF.
Be a conference /meeting center of all
project beneficiaries of CSF whenever
there is need to convene and
deliberate on key socio-economic
issues of the community.

6. Project Description & Component
The project design is structured along the following cross-cutting issues of human
development aimed at reducing household poverty conditions.
•Entrepreneurial skills Development through training in fields of agribusiness, trade and
commerce, art and crafts, music and drama
•Micro-finance programs that nurture a culture of micro-savings and subsequent easy
access to micro credit facilities for maximum self help benefit. The micro-savings scheme
for low and medium income individuals will provide easy access to affordable loans on a
revolving fund basis through which viable economic activities will be undertaken

7. Project Significance/Justification
The project’s main target beneficiaries are the youth age group who constitute a larger
proportion of the population structure in Uganda. The youth in Bukomero continue to
face a multiplicity of life challenge mainly stemming from unemployment and
underemployment.
This is despite of the energetic and able bodies un-exploited labor force. A socio
economic transformation of the youth will translate into for reaching positive impact on
Rural Human Development as far as long and healthy life, education attainment and
decent standard of living is concerned
