KALEPA Community Trust uplifts locals

The KALEPA Community Trust, for the three villages of Kasane, Lesoma and Pandamatenga seems to be taking a lead, proving that community trusts can add value in a special way.

But the CBNRM Conference is being held amidst concern that many community trusts have collapsed, ceased operations because a few individuals pocketed the millions raised from their localities, leaving the general communities despondent and impoverished.At a time when government is worried by rampant maladministration, corruption, and financial misappropriation at many community based trusts, the KALEPA trust appears to be miles apart from these unfortunate doings.
