"Transforming Lives Through Skills, Knowledge, and Opportunity"

Our Programmes

COCU-Uganda works across three core intervention areas, each designed to address the root causes of poverty, inequality, and vulnerability facing communities in Busoga.

Core areas of intervention
Three areas. One mission.
Our programmes are community-led, evidence-based, and built for lasting impact. We work across all 11 districts of Busoga, reaching marginalised youth, women, and girls.
Area 1
Education, Health and Wellbeing
We believe every child deserves a safe, healthy environment to learn and grow. Through our education, health, and wellbeing programmes, we work with schools, families, and communities across Busoga to remove the barriers that keep children, especially girls, from reaching their full potential.
