What We Do
In working towards achieving our mission in the community we serve, UDESO in partnershp with government institutions, dedicated development partners and other CSOs is striving to;
1. Promoting poverty reduction in rural areas.
UDESO believes that one critical factor in poverty reduction is creating sustainable livelihoods. This can be achieved through providing entrepreneurship education and help community to proactively to participate in income generating activities, investing in education and skills training, particularly for women in the region. Eradicating poverty is a complex challenge, but it is not insurmountable. By empowering individuals, promoting inclusive economic growth, addressing inequality, and leveraging the power of technology, we believe that we can create a society where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential and live a life of dignity.
2. Promoting improvement of Health Services, Water supply & Sanitation
We work to improve access to healthcare services, promote preventive measures, and raise awareness about public health issues. We are part in fighting against pandemics and epidemic diseases through providing health education about transmission and prevention measures of HIV/AIDS and Malaria through providing and participating in educational workshops on hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention. The more the community have access to clean and safe water supply as well as sanitation the more the community become free from some epidemic and pandemic diseases thus, while we work to promote improved health services, we also promote community access to clean and safe water supply and sanitation. We believe that promoting and advocating for policies that ensure improved health service to the community and promote health equity is crucial for creating a healthier society.
3. Supporting education improvement, Youth Empowerment and Digital transformation in rural areas.
UDESO works collaboratively with the government, education stakeholders and community to ensure all children in the region have access to quality education, regardless of their gender, race, background or socioeconomic status. We engage in sponsoring and providing educational materials to help students overcome financial barriers, offering after-school programs that support academic achievement, skill development, and social engagement to students and promoting literacy programs for adults and children. In other hand we creating a safe space for young people to scale up their skills, connect and socialize as well. Through our center of Mpimbwe Digital & Services Center UDESO offers a free training on Basic Computer Application to students, young people and community around Mpimbwe DC.
4. Promoting Human Rights, Good Governance & Capacity building.
UDESO as CSO dedicated to foster Community Development is responsible to promote creation of safe and secure community for all by addressing human rights violations including but not limited Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Violence Against Child (VAC) and promoting the consideration of rights of People With Disability (PWD), women and children in the region. We value every contribution aiming to promote community development. Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Violence Against Children (VAC) have been remained the systemic issues for long time. UDESO believes that sustainable development will be achieved when gender equality is maintained within the community. In Katavi region, Gender Based Violence and Violence Against Child have been mentioned as reasons behind for women to be dependent to men, girls fail to reach their potentials also setbacks in achieving society of equality.
5. Promoting Environmental Conservation.
We committed to be environmental stewards by promoting Environmental Conservation through provision of environmental conservation education to the community we serve. Supporting the development of renewable energy sources and promoting energy efficiency, providing agricultural education to farmers about sustainable agriculture practices that minimize environmental impacts, organizing tree-planting initiatives and promoting reforestation efforts helps to reduce adverse impact to our environment. UDESO empowers communities to protect their natural environment by promoting sustainable practices and fostering a sense of environmental stewardship. Our aim is to achieve resilient community to climate change. This can be achieved by discouraging environmental destruction and pollution in the region. Also, promoting eco-friendly habits that will help people find ways to live more lightly in the region, like using less energy or recycling more. By doing so we expect to see a healthier community and environment with good vegetation cover and undegraded soil, happy habitats for wildlife as well as sustainable future that will help future generation to meet their demands sustainably
