About the Trust
Who we are
The Olokoro Development Trust Fund was established in 2025 by people who had left Olokoro and wanted what they found elsewhere to be available at home. It is funded by the community and governed by trustees drawn from it.
We work in four areas — education, enterprise, health and infrastructure — chosen because they are what the community keeps asking for. Every programme has an open application window, published criteria, and a published decision timetable.
