Who we are
Cos Foundation (CF) is a Non-Government Organization registered in Uganda, whose primary objective is to empower and provide support to disadvantaged and marginalized communities. It was established on July 23, 2020, with a mission to reduce violence against children and women, improve education, livelihoods, and health, and enhance the well-being of local communities. The organization concentrates on helping children, youth, women, and families facing risks in the local communities. CF aims to facilitate comprehensive community development by promoting a holistic approach.
We utilize proven models to connect with various communities, aiming to enhance local communities' capacity to defend and empower themselves through education, health, and better livelihoods. We collaborate with like-minded individuals, groups, and companies, both locally and internationally, to create sustainable solutions to local issues that communities face.
Our programs and outcomes are geared towards the self-empowerment of local communities through training and mentorship to address their pressing needs. We design each intervention to cater to children in school, out-of-school adolescents, women, and the community as a whole, with the goal of enriching their lives.
