Busoga Trust America, Inc. (BTA) is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit working to combat disease and poverty in the developing world. Through our work in Masindi Uganda we are developing sources of clean water, better sanitation facilities and hygiene practice to improve rural health. We seek other projects that fit this mission and our approach.

“Once we can secure access to clean water and to adequate sanitation facilities for all people, irrespective of the difference in their living conditions, a huge battle against all kinds of diseases will be won.”

- Dr LEE Jong-wook, Director-General, World Health Organization.

Help BTA Provide Clean Water Choices

Our Approach
Busoga Trust America partners with local non-governmental organizations to carry out development projects in the developing world. Three operating principals guide our approach: certainty of results, extreme transparency and no overhead.

Certainty of results. In Masindi, we are working with the premier water development group in the East Africa, Busoga Trust. Their approach has been honed over 20 years through work on 1400 wells in Uganda and surrounding countries. Their experience, together with the favorable geology of Masindi and stable political climate in Uganda give us confidence that our work will have profound impact on people’s lives in Masindi.

No Overhead: 100% of Busoga Trust America’s overhead cost are covered by grants from its Founders. This means that every dollar donated goes to Africa. Each new well project in Masindi costs $6,000 and each donation goes directly to one of those projects.

Transparency: Every donation, large or small, is linked to a specific project. Donors are notified which project their gift supports. Each project has a page on this web site that gives details about the village served by the new well, data on water quality and access before and after our intervention and photo and video documentation of our work and the new well. The idea is to provide to donors a window into exactly who thier donation helped and what it accomplished.
