FADECO was established in 1993 with the mission of contributing to sustainable rural development and poverty alleviation in the Kagera Region. At the time, the region faced severe poverty, and our approach was to address this challenge in a holistic manner, focusing not just on income generation, but also on food security, environmental sustainability, and community empowerment.

When we began, the area was underdeveloped, with limited infrastructure and resources. Our primary objective was to improve sustainable rural development and find solutions to the many challenges facing local communities. By utilizing local resources and working collaboratively with the community, we launched initiatives that would not only improve the quality of life but also lay the foundation for a brighter, more prosperous future.

Today, FADECO continues to evolve, empowering communities to meet their most pressing needs and fostering long-term, sustainable development. We remain dedicated to creating lasting change and transforming lives through innovative, locally-driven solutions.
