Community Empowerment
We believe that empowering communities is the key to sustainable transformation. Our diverse range of programs is designed to uplift and equip individuals, especially the most vulnerable, with the skills and resources they need to build a better future. We serve over 25,000 children and youth in Kaliro, focusing on holistic development and community engagement.
Sustainable Transformation Program
Our Sustainable Transformation Program is built on the principle of teaching self-reliance. We provide training in:
Tailoring
Women in our community learn to sew, making school uniforms and clothing to sell. This skill not only provides them with a source of income but also fosters self-confidence and independence.
Arts and Crafts
Every Saturday, women gather to create crafts, knit, and make jewelry. These beautiful creations are sold locally and internationally, providing a vital income stream.
Piggery Projects
We distribute piglets to needy children, giving them an opportunity to learn animal husbandry and become self-sufficient.
Permaculture
We teach sustainable farming techniques, helping families grow nutritious food organically. This program not only combats malnutrition but also instills a deep appreciation for agriculture.
Other Community Empowerment Programs
Water & Sanitation
Access to clean water is a critical issue in many Ugandan communities. CCOMU provides water filters to improve sanitation and is actively seeking partners to help drill boreholes. Your support can bring safe drinking water to hundreds of families, significantly improving their quality of life.
Widows Program
Widows in our communities often face economic hardships and social stigma. Our program offers them vocational training in tailoring, bead making, arts and crafts, and agriculture. We also provide goats to enhance their livelihoods. This initiative empowers women, enabling them to support their families and break the cycle of poverty.
Rural Illumination Programme
In many rural areas, homes are lit by kerosene lamps, posing health risks and safety hazards. Our Rural Illumination Program provides solar lamps and panels, offering a clean, safe, and sustainable lighting solution. Your partnership can help us light up lives, making a significant difference in the daily lives of these families.
