Kulika was founded in the United Kingdom in 1981 with the goal of providing educational opportunities to Ugandans through vocational and academic scholarships.

Kulika has since grown into a fully independent Ugandan registered NGO, with a focus on community development and the provision of educational opportunities to assist people in improving their livelihoods.

The development of an ecological organic agriculture training program, which began in the mid-1990s and has transformed many Ugandan families and communities, has been particularly important to Kulika’s strategy.
