CCDO believe that empowering women is to empower the entire society. When women are supported and empowered, the whole society benefits. Their families are healthier, more children go to school, agricultural productivity improves and incomes increase. In short, communities become more resilient. We impart women in rural communities with skills and resources they need to be self-reliant and productive citizens, through social entrepreneurship and Agribusiness training. We facilitate the establishment of loan savings village groups where women get an access to loans for small scale businesses. Our youth in rural communities are equipped with life skills, social entrepreneurship and Agribusiness training. We also link our vulnerable girls to the potential individuals and organizations who can equip them with the resources for a girl child education. We strive to ensure that the youth in rural communities have access to information and technology.
