Our Story and Approach

Community Transformation Foundation Network (COTFONE) is an indigenous, non-profit organization founded in 2003 in Masaka District. COTFONE was initially registered in Masaka District as a CBO in 2006 and later renewed its registration with Lwengo District (after being curved out from former Masaka District) as a CBO in 2011. In 2009, it was incorporated by the registrar of companies as a national charitable organization/company limited by guarantee, without share capital. COTFONE mainly targets vulnerable children (Orphaned, disabled, abandoned and the disadvantaged) and other marginalized groups. The organization protects, mobilizes and works with vulnerable young people and adults to address their health, education, vocational and economic needs etc. through a broad array of direct social economic services and volunteer programmes directed to individual, family and community needs in southern and central Uganda. As a sub-national loose membership network organization, COTFONE works together with 70-member organizations to empower vulnerable children and marginalized groups with skills and resources to lead healthy and self-reliant lives and become agents of change in their communities. COTFONE also works with different partners at different levels i.e. international, regional, national and local. At those levels, COTFONE works with other civil society organizations and networks/alliances (local, national, regional and international), and government ministries and local government departments especially those with a social development mandate.
