Kuru Development Trust

Kuru Development Trust is a cultural organization that founded The Kuru Dance Festival. The trust was designed to focus on economic empowerment for the San. It is located approximately 22 miles (35 kilometers) north of Ghanzi in the Kalahari Desert. It hosts an event that features a unique cultural experience which allows all people to share in the rich culture and beautiful traditional dances and music of the San People.

The trust has a mission to develop a network of modern and professional development organisations with competent and responsible San leadership, facilitating a development process with marginalised communities to independently make informed decisions and to implement their own viable response to their situation.
