CoWA is committed to advancing education as a pathway to dignity, self-reliance, and long-term prosperity. Our approach goes beyond access to learning — we focus on skills development, employability, equity, and institutional strengthening to ensure that education translates into meaningful opportunities, particularly for marginalized and vulnerable communities. We also design and promote innovative education advancement strategies that align with labor market needs, technological shifts, and sustainable development goals, making education more relevant and impactful.
Our Key Interventions
1.Scholarships & Educational Support
We promote scholarship opportunities and other support mechanisms to increase access to quality education for learners who are at risk of exclusion.
2.Technical & Vocational Skills for Employment
We prioritize practical skills development that prepares young people and vulnerable groups for decent jobs, self-employment, and entrepreneurship.
3.Promotion of Decent Work & Entrepreneurship
Through training and mentorship, we link education with labor market demands, ensuring learners can transition smoothly into decent employment or enterprise creation.
4.Advocacy for Gender Equality & Inclusion
We advocate for gender equity, equal access to education, and the inclusion of marginalized groups in both training and employment opportunities.
5.Organizational Strengthening/Capacity Building
We build the capacity of training institutions, community organizations, and other stakeholders to deliver high-quality, inclusive, and demand-driven education services.
