CODPEO works to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. We economically empower women, girls and sex workers living in low-income communities to show up as entrepreneurs and innovators by training them in hands-on skills like weaving; craftsmanship skills like durable craftware using recycled tires to conserve the environment, industrial bar and liquid soap making, and bottle recycling reused in the packing of liquid soap. We conserve the environment while empowering women and girls. We promote the use of reusable woven carry-ons made by our women and girls beneficiaries in Kasese to limit the use of polythene bags. We promote tree planting with bamboo nursery beds, which prevent slitting and eroding of riverbanks.
