About The Lawrence Barham Memorial Trust (LBMT)

The Lawrence Barham Memorial Trust (LBMT) was named after Bishop Lawrence Barham, who worked for 40 years in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. LBMT is a UK Registered Charity (No.291459) and has been operating in East Africa since 1985. LBMT supports the work of the Anglican Church in Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi. The Trust aims to assist the Church in promoting the Christian faith and to do this by helping to meet spiritual, physical and intellectual needs of people in East Africa, in the context of their own culture and ways. In recent years the Trust has concentrated a significant amount of its funds in establishing and supporting the isolated and impoverished province of Cyangugu, in the south west of the country. Projects supported include pastor's houses, training pastors and leaders, a cathedral, rural church buildings, Diocesan offices, houses for Diocesan staff building primary and secondary schools, sponsorship of children's education and houses for widows. A medical centre and a carpentry workshop have also been established. All the projects are run by the Anglican Church with its network of parishes, which effectively reach out to many of the poorest villages. In addition a guest house and conference centre have been built to generate funds to help towards self-sufficiency in the future.
