About Us
COSMA Sustainable Rural Development (COSMA) is a social impact organization founded in 2017 with the goal of addressing poverty and empowering rural farming communities in Uganda. Initially launched as a grassroots initiative in 2010 to support vulnerable children, such as Denis—COSMA’s first beneficiary, the organization has grown significantly over the years. Denis, the only surviving member of a family affected by HIV, is now a medical doctor running his own health center. His inspiring journey
underscores COSMA’s dedication to creating lasting, transformative change in the lives of individuals and families impacted by poverty.
