Kirinki

Founded in 2026, Kirinki is a non-profit association based in Obfelden, Switzerland working on education, sport for development, community development.

Kirinki is a Swiss association (Verein) that supports the local population of the rural Rubanda district in western Uganda. It works in education, sport and sustainable tourism, aiming to strengthen schooling, community life, health services and economic opportunities, including job creation in a rural village near Lake Bunyonyi. Kirinki acts as a support hub: it mobilises financial resources, provides advice and expertise in development cooperation, planning and advisory work, and channels targeted funding to concrete projects. Implementation and management in Uganda are carried out by Prosper and Hope Initiative Uganda in close collaboration with the local community. The association was formalised in 2026, having grown out of a school-building initiative started by Prosper and supported personally by Olivier from 2019, and earlier crowdfunded through a GoFundMe campaign launched in 2022.
