Our Story

It began with a chance encounter

Nkuringo Education and Community Support (NECS) began as a chance encounter with the community in South West Uganda by our founder Jan Duchesne and her husband Steve Knowlden whilst trekking in 2013. 'How can we help' was the question. 'Sponsor a child's education' was the answer. There are now over 400 students in sponsored education but we do so much more.
