    Kagiso-Cowi Kagiso Trust
    Kagiso Trust was formed in 1986 as a conduit of funds to South Africa from the European Union (EU) for the support of victims of apartheid. Kagiso Trust grew from a small unit managed by two people in 1986 to a huge operation of close to 100 people in 1990. The budget had grown from ECU 10 mill. to some ECU 75 mill. by the early 1990s. Kagiso Trust's strength lies in its proud record of affinity with the communities it serves, its board of management and staff which has strong personal and social roots in communities and who, literally and figuratively speak the language of the people it serves.
