MADDO Dairies Limited is a dairy processing, trading plant and a registered trusteeship company wholly owned by Masaka Catholic Diocese. Later in December 2018 it was registered with the registrar of companies and became a legal entity.The dairy project started in 1993 with three farmers who were provided with one heifer each from Heifer Project International donated by Bothar Ireland with an intended objective to improve nutrition, food security and income among the people of the Masaka Diocese.

After intensive training in dairy farming and sustainable agriculture, 24 more farmers qualified and each received one heifer. From that time the program expanded and Heifer Project International provided more heifers and more milk volumes were produced. As a result of increasing milk volumes with limited market base, farmers requested Caritas MADDO to avail a ready and reliable market for their milk.                                        

MADDO Dairies was established on 28^th June, 2003 and launched on 8^th August 2003 by then the minister of finance Hon. Gerald Ssendawula with a purpose of processing and marketing farmers’ milk in the region of greater Masaka and beyond
