History
In 1982 the serving Bishop of Busoga Diocese, Cyprian Bamwoze, set up a development programme to provide support to a population ravaged by years of political turmoil experienced under the regimes of Milton Obote and Idi Amin. Indeed, Obote's regime was to last until 1985 when he was ousted in the bush war of current president Yoweri Museveni His appeal to contacts in the UK for support led to the foundation of the Trust, led by Rev. Andrew Pearson.
The Trust experienced many years of productivity and eventually opened a second office in the town of Luwero, in a region infamous for being part of the eponymous Luwero Triangle.
As of 2008 the Busoga Trust had constructed over 1800 water sources which, based on a maximum rate of 500 people per soource per day, equates to 900,000 people served <ref.
