Caring for Widows and Orphans Organization
About Us
Our Objectives
At Caring for Widows and Orphans Organization, our goal is to empower orphans, widows, and elderly individuals with special needs in the community. Established in January 2018 at the Kakuma refugee camp, Turkana West, CWOO was founded by compassionate individuals dedicated to improving the quality of life for those in need. By addressing the connection between gender and climate change, we transform the lives of women and adolescent girls through vocational training in tailoring, dressmaking, computer skills, and counselling, preparing them for sustainable futures. Our ultimate aim is to foster personal growth, resilience, and community development.

We are dedicated to supporting widows in the Kakuma Refugee Camp by addressing their most pressing needs. We provide them with essential food supplies and clothing, ensuring their well-being and dignity.
For orphans in the Kakuma Refugee Camp, we go beyond basic needs by providing food, clothing, and shelter. Our commitment extends to securing their future and enhancing their development.
We establish educational centers for orphans and widows. They receive comprehensive education in language training, computer science, and dressmaking, empowering them with vital skills for a brighter, self-sufficient future
Mission and Vision
Our Mission is to empower widows and orphans through vocational training and essential livelihood skills. We help women and adolescent girls achieve economic independence with programs in tailoring, dressmaking, computer literacy, smartphone usage, and counseling. By providing a supportive environment, we equip them to build sustainable futures and become self-reliant, creating lasting change in their lives and communities.
Our Vision is to empower vulnerable women to achieve independence and contribute to society. We aim to help women develop their natural abilities, excel in their workplaces and communities, and realize their full potential. By harnessing the economic power of women and their communities, we inspire them to become more economically active and personally fulfilled.
