How to Purchase Ugandan Crafts through The Kasiisi Project

Donations to The Kasiisi Project are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. The Kasiisi Project is a secular 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Kasiisi Project passes through over 90% of donations to worthy causes in Africa. An accountant at the Makarere University Biological Field Station near Kasiisi in Uganda monitors the project's accounts continuously in all details. All expenditures are required to have receipts, and all account information and receipts are transferred back to the US at least twice per year for auditing. No money passes through the hands of any staff at the schools with which the Project works.
