2015 donations: 

On November 13, 2015, the board of the Trolltech Foundation decided to make the following grants to:

* Metamorfose:

NOK 350 000 for phase 2 of a project to install high-efficiency cooking stoves in Uganda and Rwanda.

Metamorfose is a Norwegian registered social benefit company based in Oslo. Metamorfose’s mandate is to be a non-profit company with the aim to promote the opportunity for people to live a dignified life. The company’s objectives are to initiate and support projects and entrepreneurship with the aim of increasing people’s opportunities to realize their own goals and vision, regardless of religion, political belief and ethnic affiliation.

* Hope Ofiriha:

NOK 150 000 for one year of schooling for 20 orphans and refugee children from South Sudan.
NOK 450 000 for a loan to finance microloans to South Sudanese refugee entrepreneurs in Kampala City, Uganda.

* I see Maasai Development Initiative (now Nashulai Maasai Conservancy):

NOK 1 050 000 for construction of a Maasai cultural centre – Netii Apa in Sekenani, Maasai Mara, Kenya.

Netii Apa, means “once long ago” and it will be the knowledge centre and headquarters of Nashulai. It will be the new home of our Nashulai Cultural Training Institute.

A research centre where indigenous knowledge, local tracking and leading edge conservation science will come together. A community centre where the people of Nashulai can come together for storytelling and public participation; and where children and youth can become engaged early in their culture and care for place. And an international centre where both Maasai and Nashulai Fellows from around the world can contribute to the Nashulai endeavour and learn from each other’s cultures.
