Rubeke Community Resource Centre was founded in 1999 after a needs assessment conducted by the community and students from Denmark. In the beginning, the centre was supported by Operation a Day's Work and MS Uganda in partnership with NSEA. Today, Rubeke Community Resource Centre is an independent civil society organisation.
