ABOUT US
The Mmanze Centre for Rural Development & Training (MACERUDET) is a local NGO located in Uganda. It is a community-based organization mainly developing and managing self-help community projects in all the welfare works related fields. MACERUDET has 30 years of experience in the field of welfare thanks to the contribution of a small group of professionals located in Masulita, Uganda.
OUR MISSION
The main aim of MACERUDET is to contribute towards the rehabilitation, reconstruction, and development of the Mmanze community.
The Mmanze community lies within the former famous Luwero Triangle, where the Ugandan Bush War was centered, resulting in many fatalities and virtually destroying all the social infrastructures in the region. It was in this environment in 1987 that MACERUDET was founded, with survivors organizing it themselves on a self-help basis to create this community-based organization. During the past thirty years, MACERUDET has worked with the local community to establish and develop projects that promote education, health care, and economic development.
Mmanze community members face daily problems arising from poverty, low-grade water supply and sanitation facilities, insufficient funds for education, and meagre nutrition and scant health care services. MACERUDET implements priority programs and activities utilizing the services of both local and international volunteers through an integrated holistic development approach with a high community spirit and a lot of enthusiasm.
​
​We want to work with rural communities to alleviate poverty, disease, and illiteracy through implementing sustainable community-based development programs.
